<p>I am a transfer student to UC Berkeley beginning this fall with a simultaneous major of Business Administration and Economics. I have tried and failed to enroll in a course due to the following restriction: </p>
<ol>
<li>Instructor Approval; a Class Entry Code is required to enroll in these seats. (Open)</li>
<li>Students in the College of Letters and Science (Full)</li>
<li>Students in the College of Letters and Science and Students with a class level of Sophomore (Full)</li>
<li>Open seating (Full)</li>
</ol>
<p>I contacted the professor and already obtained his permission to enroll the course. However, when I talked to the Economic Department counselor, she just asked me to stay on the waiting which I already did, and then avoided talking about the Class Entry Code. May anyone please tell me how the "Class Entry Code" supposes to work and whether it is still possible for me to get into that class? I am soooo confused right now about why I even asked for that code if she won't even look at it. Any help is sincerely appreciated.</p>
<p>Some courses require Class Entry Code because they are restricted to students who have declared the intended major under which the class is offered. In your situation you will need to declare or stay on the waiting list to get in under the other conditions which are full.</p>
<p>First, thanks a lot for the replies. When I talked to the professor, he gave me the permission to add, but also mentioned that the enrollment was controlled by the major adviser, who was the one that may give me the class entry code.</p>
<p>As the result, I talked that major adviser today to declare my Economics major, but she STRONGLY discouraged me from doing a simultaneous degree due to the heavy workload even though I did make a reasonable schedule plan. Sigh…</p>
<p>^went through the same situation for econ101a during phase I…i’m just hoping i’ll get added once the class starts lol and declare my econ major next semester…</p>
<p>In the case that the department is assigning CEC rather than the professor, then you should mentally translate ‘permission of the professor’ into permission of the department staff, since they not the professor make the decision. Doesn’t matter if the professor says yes (or no) since they have no say in your registration. That person (major advisor in the above case) is also the one that manages the clearing of manual waitlists for a class, with complete power to clear people in any order and for any arbitrary reason.</p>
<p>A lot of the time CECs are used to help graduate students get into specific upper division courses (at least that is the case with IB). Sometime in mid-to-late August, someone controlling class enrollment with turn the extra CEC seats into “Open Seats”</p>
