<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I am just wondering.. When is your Phase II? I am a senior and my date is on the 26th. Seems kind of late to me.. </p>
<p>Also, I want to drop a class and add another one. However, the class I want to add has available spots open but their are people on the wait list. What's up with that? I don't want to drop the class I have registered and not be able to add the class I want. </p>
<p>Any help will be appreciated. Thank you</p>
<p>how are you still asking any of these questions as a senior.</p>

<p>[li] yeah it’s pretty late. cool story.</p>[/li]
<p>[li]there are a couple reasons that could happen: [/li]1) it’s summer and the department just doesn’t give af. no one over in the dept is running around making telebears their #1 priority over summer school paperwork or vacation. plus, phase I is long over, no rush until phase II.
2) class enrollment is often partitioned into categories (e.g. “class level of at jr,sr”; “class entry code”; “students with a major of ____”; etc.) and each category has a varying number of seats allocated to it (e.g. maybe the department wants to reserve 20 seats for special circumstances [graduating seniors, grad students, ambitious underclassmen], and 80 seats for upperclassmen), so the upperclassmen spots may be taken (hence a waitlist) but there are still spots for special circumstance students (hence vacancy on the roster)
3) lag in telebears system (updates a certain time during the day)</p>
<p>[li] you know the telebears game by now, you can’t get the class you want without shedding a little blood first… the class you’re registered for will probably clear up 2-4 weeks into the semester. it sounds like the class u want to add may be more popular and harder to ‘sneak into’ the long way. better to get in on the waitlist asap.</p>[/li]
<p>[/ul]</p>
<p>Ya know… Next time you really don’t have to help a person if you don’t want to. </p>
<p>Thanks for the info.</p>
<p>crowslayer and caiacs might be my favorite posters on here. Dreamcrushers and reality-checkers lol. Especially since Batman left =(</p>
<p>OP, you asked a question that has been asked twenty times EVERY single telebears on this forum. And as a fourth year, this phenomenon commonly happens in the upper division classes we must take, so you should have encountered it before and known what happened. You are asking a question a first or second year normally asks. Thus, crowslayer was criticizing your lack of insight on this matter.</p>
<p>I got July 23rd as a junior transfer. Is that good or bad?</p>
<p>I hope my lack of insight is excused as I have never attended cal and I don’t know if posts from 2009 on this matter are equally accurate. I had my Phase I appointment on July 5th and most classes were full(at least with waitlist) already. Would it be foolish to believe that I can still find popular classes on July 23rd or do I have to start looking for a random filler class to reach 13 units and try to get into desired classes once the semester started? </p>
<p>If you want to slap me with some link to an older thread about a guideline on how to get into classes after Phase II, I will not object! :)</p>
