Registering for classes

Friday Mar 07, 2008

I was online super early this morning to register for classes. When I checked last night, were 4 seats left in the business negotiations class I wanted to take. I hit the register button the minute that registration opened up. I remember there is no way to browse and select from the open courses. Search is the only option. I search for, "negotiations," in the course field. No luck. I try it in the keyword search. No luck. I'm losing precious time. I finally try searching by the course number. Bingo. I select the class and am met by giant red letters that the class is closed. Errrrrr. I quickly select my backup class and the other class I was planning on taking. Now, I'm sitting here wondering if I should contact the registrar's office to explain to them how unfriendly their course search is.

at my undergrad university, it was possible to sit in a class on 'standby' and wait for people to drop out. only risked it a few times, but it always worked for me. a surprisingly large # of people drop the course in the first week.

Yeah, we don't have formal wait lists but since the course is in the summer, I'm hoping someone will drop it so I can take their spot. The add/drop date is on my calendar in CAPS. This class is always the first elective to fill up.
