Waitlisted process- plz help

<p>I've been trying to contact someone about this but no one answers their phone! </p>

<p>I'm waitlisted for all of the classes I've registered for (from Phase 1)-- I have Phase 2 tomorrow. So some classes have a lot of students on "waitlist" then some spaces for "available." How does that work? Are those "availalbe" spots reserved for Phase 2 or some other purpose?</p>

<p>If I'm "waitlisted" for my 3 classes until classes start... What do I do? Do I drop it-- take something else or just wait to see if I get off? I'm seriously confused....</p>

<p>Please help!!</p>

<p>So the classes that have students on the waitlist but still have available spots are for either two reasons: some classes have a sort of cap on who can register, so they have 100 spots for english majors and 50 for other majors (for example) so when 50 non-english majors sign up, the other non-english people go straight to the waitlist (it’s not always about majors, sometimes it’s year level) or it’s because they haven’t been updating the waitlist very well (some classes are done manually).
It’s a little surprising that you’ve waitlisted for ALL of your classes, which classes are you trying to take?</p>

<p>I’m waitlisted for Spanish, seminar, and R1B course.</p>

<p>Probably pick a back up R1B course then (since those tend to be small and many freshmen want to take them, not many on the waitlist get in). Depends on how far down you are on the list.</p>

<p>Even if you only want 3 classes, I’d sign up for a 4th anyways in phase 2… you can always drop the extra when you get off a waitlist, but scrambling to get into classes the first week of school really sucks. So, pick a backup (with lots of seats!) and add that, then you’ll have options if things don’t go your way.</p>
