<p>I know nothing about family orientation so can’t tell you anything there. Many another poster will see this and join in. I would send in the special circumstances form as soon as possible. Why wait and have them redo something when it could be done right to start with? But then I don’t have direct experience with that so what do I know. </p>

<p>Your reasons for not wanting to take English are the exact reasons you should take English.

<p>Restricted on the schedule means you must be authorized for that class in some way. For business classes, that normally means you must be admitted to McCombs. For certain classes, there is a way around that. You mentioned accounting, so I’m guessing that is something you were looking at when you saw the restricted status. What is your current major again? Anyone in any major can pursue the actuarial science option. You can read more about it on the math department site. The reason I mention it is that it authorizes you to take certain classes in McCombs, such as accounting. If you get your advisor to add you as pursuing the actuarial science option then you will be able to register for accounting and some other business classes without jumping through hoops. If you don’t belong to a major or program which authorizes you to take those classes, you must petition for an exception to be allowed to register. It is a real hassle as I understand. That is why I offered you the other option. It is pretty painless. Ask your advisor if that sounds like something you might want to consider. </p>
<p>You have all the indicator courses, which is great. E 316 tends to fill up very quickly so it is difficult to get into the class you want when you want. Also too, don’t worry about classes being closed right now. They will open up spots for each orientation so you should have a chance to get the courses you want. Add/drop time is another option, but if you get in line early at orientation you won’t even have to bother with that. As far as science credits, I’ve heard many people say the easiest science courses are the physical science classes. Even an advisor mentioned this. Check those out. As a business major, you won’t have to take the same science classes a science major would, which is great for you for the GPA. I would stay away from geology classes. Some of them sound great, like the history of dinosaurs but when you look at the grade distribution, yikes!</p>
