<p>The idiot being me of course. So today, i saw one of the classes i was interested being open for waitlisting, so i dropped 3 courses in trying to add that one course, and behold i can't add the course that i wanted and now i can't get back on the 3 courses i previously had. Great! Not only were my chances dim of getting into a UC, now it looks like it even got dimmer. =)))))))). Well I hope everyone else is in a better situation than this.</p>
<p>Damn man, sorry for your loss.</p>
<p>You should go smoke some weed, huh beardy?</p>
<p>oh gosh, that sucks big time. Hope for a miracle</p>
<p>It isn’t the end of the world. Counselors are human and understand things like this happen. You can speak with them, explain the situation especially considering it is a bit dire as you’re transferring out. They can try to speak with the dean or simply get you in directly.</p>
<p>Failing that you can write to the dean of whatever department the class is in and do the same.</p>
<p>Finally, there is always e-mailing the professor and sitting outside that damn door an hour before class starts and greeting the professor first thing…</p>
<p>There is alot you can still do, don’t give up :).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Deans, counselors, etc have no hand in getting you into full classes. The teachers are only contractually obligated to take as many students until the class is full, so it is completely at their discretion whether or not they let you in the class once all the spots have been taken. Those teachers are the people you should be explaining your situation to; tell them you need these classes because you are transferring this year and missing these classes could potentially keep you from doing so.</p>
<p>I’m just a little confused as to why you dropped three classes to get into one. Seems a little odd to me.</p>
<p>well i originally had 4 or 5 courses planned out and dropping 3 would get me into a required course with a better professor and better time. I thought since there weren’t a lot of people on the waitlist for the three classes i had, i could just sign back up, then when i tried it the system said no waitlist.</p>
<p>Yeah but like did all three classes together fit the time slot for the one class? The required class is four hours?</p>
<p>different days one was throughout the others weren’t</p>
<p>thanks for advice people but i dont think waiting is going to work but ill try. one time there was a waitlist with so many students and people who just showed up the professor was like GET OUT and shooing people and its really sad when people have to beg when they need that one class and the professor is like no, then later in the class a lot of people drop out. sorry for the rant, but anyone who is not in my situation would obviously think that im an idiot</p>
<p>Ahhh got it. Well I agree that people usually end up dropping so if I were you I’d be persistent and do the assignments and when someone stops showing up, have them fill out the form for a late add.</p>
<p>I was thinking about doing something like that, but if there are no seats then I think it would just annoy students in the class and the professor</p>
<p>^who cares if you annoy people? if it is seriously your last resort, then that is what you have to do.</p>
<p>If you really need that credit, try adding classes at other community colleges near you.</p>
<p>Dependent upon the school, a counselor may not be able to push you into a class but people can talk and exceptions can be made. It’s not black and white considering you’re dealing with humans here. </p>
<p>A dean can push to have the limit of a class extended as well. Certainly the teacher is under no obligation to take in more then the class is issued or stated for but again, talking does wonders sometimes.</p>
<p>But yes, talking to the teacher would help as well. In either case, you shouldn’t confine yourself to a single course of action when there are others you can attempt and pursue to increase your chances of getting into the class.</p>
