Getting frustrated with Kelley course enrollment

Colleges and Universities A-Z Indiana University - Bloomington

<p>My son took 34 units last year (28 at IU plus 6 that transferred during the summer from another school), 15 the first semester this year, yet still didn't get an early enough enrollment time to be able to sign up for either MATH M365 or any of the Career Perspectives course sessions offered for the upcoming second semester. (His enrollment was at 10:45 today, M365 filled up yesterday evening, and all the BUS X220/X230 sessions filled up this morning before his enrollment time came up.)</p>

<p>Just how do people get into I-Core in the first semester of their junior year, anyway if they can't get the foundation prerequisites finished on-time? And how is he supposed to take advantage of the career office for getting an internship, if you have to take the Career Perspectives course first? It looks like it will either be I-Core in Spring semester of the Junior year, or else time to transfer somewhere else where he can get through his degree program in two more years, since I'm not too keen on continuing to pay $34,000+/year if he can't get the classes he needs for graduation or to use the career placement office.</p>

<p>I thought people already admitted to Kelley didn't get priority--and that enrollment order was all based on how many units one had previously taken. I'm beginning to seriously doubt that is how enrollment is actually handled.</p>

<p>I have the exact same problem. Ask your son to wait list for M310 instead of M365. I am told that they will open a new section soon. M 365 is also a lot harder, with calc II as a prerequisite (which requires calc 1 as its pre-req).M 310 only requires M119 as a prerequisite.</p>

<p>The new section for M310 should open around 16th, but they refused to give me any final word. I have been asked to withdraw from M365(as I can't exceed the 17 credit limit)and have been asked to get on the wait list for M 310. There are about 35 kids on the wait list for the 2 sections. I assume the number will only rise. The adviser said that they would either increase the class size or start a new section.</p>

<p>Lets hope for the best.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info alpha sniper. I'll tell my son he should waitlist for MATH K310.</p>

<p>And excuse my rant--sometimes things that seem so clear to others (on how things work at the college) just don't seem all that clear to me. I guess that's why we make use of CC so much.</p>
