<p>I just finished my class registration and feel pretty satisfied with my schedule. The thing is, however, there are one or two classes that I am keenly interested in but cannot take, due to credit restrictions imposed upon entering freshmen. I'm contemplating the possibility of writing to the professors teaching these classes and asking for permission to sit in on lecture sessions as an informal member of the class. Has anyone had experiences with such things before? And is this ill-advised? I don't imagine that professors would deny anyone a place in a class except in the event of a shortage in physical seats or something of that sort, but I wouldn't want to thought of as inappropriately presumptuous. Thoughts, anyone?</p>
<p>unless its a tiny class, just go and sit in, no one cares lol. if there is a shortage of seats the professor will make an announcement in class asking people who aren’t enrolled to leave. though why dont you just postpone the classes til later years? i find it pretty difficult to fill all 4 yrs of cornell with interesting classes</p>

<p>Because I plan on double majoring in government and economics, minoring in law and society, doing a significant amount of math and taking one or two literature classes. In any case, the classes I’m thinking of would probably be more appropriate for freshmen.</p>

<p>You can’t be serious. I’m having trouble planning out the courses i want for my soph, junior, and senior year because there’s so much i want to take.</p>
<p>wow you guys are crazy. theres like nothing i want to take… course enrollment is always such a pain!</p>
<p>How are there no courses you want to take?</p>
<p>I wish I could spend 2 or 3 extra years taking everything I want.</p>
