CC Registration: Going above the points limit on SSOL

I want to try out many classes for next semester before I decided on a set schedule. But SSOL won't allow me to register for more than 22 points. I talked to Advising, and they said the only way to override that rule is by filling out forms (including the Add/Drop one) and register through Registrar in January. Can some upperclassman confirm that one cannot add above the 22-point limit on SSOL? Thank you.

It was that way in my day. You have to have the registrar do it manually. So, have them do manually a class that's not going to fill up so you don't lose space in a class you want.

Is the registrar still staffed with those fabulous ladies with the long fingernails who act like you're interrupting their social hour when you walk in.

As far as I can tell, except the recession forced them to cut back on manicures

the silence should be taken as consent, in this case...

I.e., "the king has spoken"?

More like "I'm only going to stop lurking if there's a question I feel the need to answer"
