New to UCLA and all the classes that I need are full.... what to do?

<p>Hi,
I need to add several classes that are already full at UCLA. Does anyone here know if there's a way to do this? I elected not to attend orientation, fyi. I'm thinking that:
1. I can go to the class I need to add and speak with the professor
2. Contact the professor of the course (or the TA(s)) and ask before class starts</p>

<p>Other than 1 and 2 above, I'm not sure what else to do. Does anyone know or have any feedback? Do they accept more students than they have space for on the contingent that some will drop? Any other late add policy in place at UCLA that I don't know about? Thanks for reading! :) </p>

<p>PS I need to add physics 6A and/or Life Sciences 2</p>
