<p>Mark Cuban is noted for taking MBA classes while still in his u-grad years. I'd imagine others have done the same. Would it be possible to sign up for a class I wouldn't normally be allowed to take? For instance I'm an econ major however my school doesn't allow econ classes until sophomore year. Would it be possible for me to take the class by signing up online for it?</p>
<p>Not that I know anything about this, but perhaps Mark Cuban was just sitting in on MBA classes?</p>
<p>i know at my school (KU) they said that if u sign up for any class with out permission or pre req u would be auto-administrativly droped from that class.</p>
<p>I think it depends on how big your school is, but for the most part if your teacher knows your name, it will be near impossible to be "sneaky" and get into a class your not supposed to be in. If anyone is paying attention to you (ie, an advisor, or just anyone looking at your file) they'll notice something's weird and confront you about it, and you could get in trouble. I wouldn't try it in a sneaky way--you don't want to be on the bad side of the administration as they can help you a lot if they like you, and maybe not hurt, but certainly impede your sucess if they don't.</p>
<p>Kinglin, CBA at Nebraska is notorious on campus for dropping students out classes without telling them b/c they don't have the proper pre-reqs. I never saw that happen in any A&S classes, but have heard many stories of this happening with CBA courses (including an unfortunate case in which someone had taken the class but registered by a cross listing which took a while to get sorted out)</p>
<p>definately depends on school. One of my friends took a 300-level class first quarter of freshman year.</p>
<p>yep... depends on the school.</p>
<p>Also, beware that at some schools, even if you do make it through the cracks for the semester (i.e., don't get dropped), it becomes an automatic "F" if/when it does get caught (i.e., when your transcripts are looked over by the dept director/chair/dean just prior to graduation)--so make sure you know the policies at your school!</p>
