IMPORTANT INFO
Crashers
"Crashers," unfortunately, are at a disadvantage this semester and are advised to adjust their off-
campus schedules in order to accommodate any open section of a class they need, or to register for
any open class for which they qualify. Classes marked as "Waitlisted" have a lower probability of
openings for crashers. However, if you do try to add such a class, your odds of receiving an Add
Code improve if you commit to attending the class for the first two weeks, with the instructor's
permission.
First-Day Attendance
Your attendance in the first two weeks of any class is of paramount importance in order to maintain
your standing in the course. Whether you are formally enrolled or you are currently on a Wait List, if
you don't attend a class--especially on the first or second day--your spot will be given to someone else
waiting to register in it. Once a registered student fails to attend and is dropped, he or she can only re-
enter the class by petitioning for an Add Code. For those on the Wait List, as openings become
available during the first two weeks, you will be given priority strictly in order of the list, over crashes
and registered students who were dropped and wish to re-enroll. Add Codes should be used
immediately once they are issued. If you intend to drop a course in which you are already registered,
notifying your instructor of your intentions would be tremendously helpful.
Unregistered Students
Due to liability reasons, after the first two weeks of the semester unregistered students may not be in
the classroom during class time past.
