<p>ok, I am a college senior who really needs to graduate this semester due to a lot of reasons. I have all my classes set up to graduate except for one elective. The class was already closed when I picked it but most of the time you can talk to the teacher and get in. However, this teacher wont let me register even though I told him i really need it to graduate. Who can take this to? provost, registrar? or is the teachers decision final?</p>
<p>Just take something else that counts for the same requirement. It’s one elective.</p>
<p>I guess when the class is closed, full then it is closed?..go talk to your advisor/mentor? dean of Eng. or dean of students?..good luck.</p>
<p>Problem is I can’t find a replacement for this class. Also, I couldn’t register earlier because my dean didn’t approve my course overload until some of my classes are closed.</p>
<p>Why would you be looking for an answer on CC??? Go to your advisor.</p>
<ol>
<li>Class is an elective but needed to graduate</li>
<li>You “really” need to graduate this term</li>
<li>You are overloading to be able to graduate</li>
</ol>
<p>You know the rules. Class full = class full. Trying to talk your way into it when you really need the class gets no sympathy from me. Thinking you can talk your way out of these situations is a bad way to go in school and worse on the job.</p>
<p>Sounds like a serious case of POOR PLANNING on your part. Being a succesful engineer requires GOOD PLANNING skills. You do need to make some changes in your approach.</p>
<p>Also; having to have your post edited for bad language doesn’t reflect well on your maturity or your judgement.</p>

It’s pathetic how you judge me when you are just as old as my parents. It’s also pathetic how you spend your Sunday morning on CC giving useless answers to students. How about knowing me before coming to conclusions about me and not typing answers just because you have a keyboard and fingers. Don’t be sour with me just because your children are unsuccessful in their lives (you have to find your college graduated engineering son a job). Maybe you should save some of your advice to them and not for me because Im graduating with a job offer at a large company.</p>
<p>I am sure that you have an academic advisor whom you can talk to first. If that does not work, escalate to your department administration and then the college Dean’s office. There are clearly no guarantees but they may have some suggestions for an appropriate course substitution that will not put you into a class where the instructor has already said you are not welcome. If you have a good academic record up to now, they will hopefully do what they can to help you.</p>
<p>Frankly, while your planning could have been better, anticipating the late permission for an overload, I find it objectionable if the university is unwilling to help out some way. I say this as an undergraduate advisor with over 20 years of experience in an engineering school.</p>
<p>“Im graduating with a job offer at a large company”. → maybe graduating that is, if you can get that course</p>
<p>And coming this summer…</p>
<p>“Company don’t hire me because my poor planning didn’t allow me to graduate”</p>
<p>Take an online course to meet your elective requirement or find one at the local community college.</p>
<p>Assume the the teacher’s decision is final and go talk to your advisor. If it’s an elective requirement that usually means you can choose among a group of courses in a particular subject area. Perhaps your advisor can find space in another class that meets your graduation requirements.</p>

Jealous much…?</p>
<p>Am I jealous that I didn’t screw up my schedule, beg the professor to let me in a class and possibly lose my job?</p>
<p>Nah.</p>
<p>you are jealous because you didn’t have a job right off from school.End of conversation so don’t reply back.</p>
<p>^jeez. you can insult people on the internet?</p>
<p>you must be hardcore.</p>
<p>^^ agreed, they must be so hardcore. </p>
<p>But really, I hope all works out for you with this endeavor. It must be very stressful dealing with the possibility of not graduating on time. However, you said some rude and unnecessary things to posters that were just being frank with you. Unless you have been busy with Co-ops during some semesters instead of going to school, it is hard to see how you might barely make the graduation requirements unless you didn’t plan well. I surely don’t know your situation so I won’t pretend I do and in the end, I hope all just works out for you. Good luck.</p>
<p>Manee, I agree with HPuck and xraymancs. Your poor planning led to an overload that required permission in the first place. Your advisor should have signed your overload a bit faster. You should have brought it to his attention and waited for the signature. Now that what is done is done you need to work with somebody to get this done. But kindly ignore the person who thinks you can get a senior level tech elective at a community college. That is just ridiculous since no decent university accepts anybody else’s credit past the 60 hour mark. You are at the mercy of the university that will hoepfully be granting your degree. I suggest you start kissing some backside.</p>
<p>All I can assume is that this is a poorly devised ■■■■■ topic.</p>
<p>I’m agreeing with Vlad that this must be some type of trolling attempt. What college graduate, even with a STEM degree, writes “Teacher dont let me take his class??” as the title for a thread? That’s not even close to proper English usage. Not to mention how he calls people pathetic for giving him some advice.</p>
<p>If you’re serious, get a better attitude if you actually want people to help you in their free time.</p>
