<p>I'm planning out my schedule for next semester, and I really don't have a choice except to take six classes. However, since all the math classes are 4 credits, that will put me at 19, instead of 18. I've found the form to apply for an exception for the engineering school, but it also says that they only make exceptions rarely, and in extreme circumstances.</p>
<p>However, I figured that was probably more referring to the other exceptions, such as repeating a course three times, registering for two courses with time conflicts, etc. 1 more credit doesn't seem like a big deal, so will I probably be able to do this? Thanks!</p>
<p>just another quick question not worth a new thread: should I take comm107, or comm200? comm200 counts as an HO course, but I don’t need one since I’m taking an IE class and can substitute it in. However, if comm107 has a bad reputation for being a fluff class, or if it’s ridiculously hard, I’d take comm200. Anyone know how these classes are different?</p>
<p>currently i am taking 20 credits as a student in the engineering school. i don’t think you have to apply for an exception to policy until you get to 21 credits. you can register for up to 16 (i think) when you register now for next semester, but then you can add those extra 2 credits in the add/drop period in the beginning of next semester. this means that you might not get the class you want in the add/drop period since it may have filled. usually though, depending on the college the course is in, the professor will be accommodating and let the people on the waitlist into the class. that happened to me last semester.</p>
<p>I think as long as your advisor agree to let you take more than 18 credits, you can. Also your grade must be good for him/her to agree for you to take 19+ credits.</p>
<p>COMM107 is an easy B and, with a bit of work, a reasonably easy A. You will have to give two speeches to the class. I’m not sure about COMM200.</p>
