<p>For my phase I earlier this week, I signed up for ESPM 114 (Wildlife Ecology) as numerous people told me it was a decent way to satisfy the biological science breadth. But just now as I was looking over my schedule for next semester I noticed this class had a prereq of 'upper division or graduate standing' and I have neither of those things, though I'm currently enrolled in an upper division class for this fall. But, Telebears let me sign up for this...</p>
<p>So, am I not going to be able to take this class under any circumstances? Or could I talk to an advisor and sort it out? I'm looking for a replacement class to take but this fit my schedule so it'd be nice if I could keep it... Agh, I'm so upset that I didn't notice this problem before...</p>
<p>As far as I know, that class doesn’t really enforce the pre-req. If you’re in, you’re in. If you are still worried about it, try emailing Dr. Brashares and asking him how that works.</p>
<p>Once you’re in on Telebears, the ball is in the instructor’s court. Short of a few exceptions, s/he’s the one with final say on who’s in the class. If you’re in on Telebears, then you’re not part of that exception.</p>
<p>The main thing is to be prepared to be dropped if there is someone with the prereqs that really wants to take the course.</p>
<p>I didn’t even think of emailing, I’ll do that! 
Hopefully it works out. Thanks!</p>
<p>Just for future reference for anyone that looks into taking this class in the future, I emailed the professor and he said the prerequisite is neither necessary nor enforced, and many first and second year students take the class.
Such a relief! I was really worried about messing up my planned schedule over this.</p>
