<p>My son and I were working on his registration. He will be in the television production program at Dodge. Two sections of a required tv class were offered. One was full (no waitlist allowed) and the other conflicted with the assigned FFC class. Only got a message machine from the advisory office so he took matters in his own hands and removed the FFC class and inserted the required tv class. Today, he was able to talk to the head of the tv department who told him to go back and put the FFC back on and he would help him out at getting him into the waitlisted class the first day. </p>
<p>Thought we had the problem solved, but when we tried to select the FFC class assigned to him it said full, no wait list. Sigh. Again, no one at advisory office to help, left message. Anyone know how to put the class back on?<br>
Please tell me that there is more help available when on campus.</p>
<p>Really, I will extract myself from this process when he is there and can meet with an advisor, since I'm really not doing a good job of it.</p>
<p>My son just experienced the same thing. Since he was unable to attend the advising sessions in CA (we’re OOS), he went through the online tutorial. He was assigned an FFC that he was excited about but once he started to populate his schedule with classes, he realized there was a conflict with one of his required film courses (a lab) and the assigned FFC. Since it was past office hours and he was scheduled to register at 9am the next morning, we thought we’d email his advisor for a solution. No assigned academic advisor or email could be located (in Webadvisor, previous emails, etc).</p>
<p>Several frantic calls to the advising office finally put him in touch with a young man that told him this is common and that he should drop the assigned FFC and simply choose another one (which he did). Most of the FFCs were closed so he picked one that fit into his schedule, not necessarily one that interests him. </p>
<p>Hopefully this course of action works out and more importantly, he will be assigned an academic advisor because we’re currently not seeing a name / email addy listed in Webadvisor.</p>
<p>I’d like to extract myself from this process as well. Already went to college once… don’t really want to do it again ;)</p>
<p>Thanks, ap. We did figure it out. I was so dumb that I thought he HAD to take the assigned FFC, that it was tied to his dorm assignment, sigh…</p>
