ETAM Process at A&M

I’m a senior at Texas A&M, CEEN.

I was locked out of an ECEN course I needed to meet my senior design criteria the following semester. This was due to ETAM never successfully submitting my Differential Equations credit into the system (so I had to watch helplessly as everyone filled the slots and I was locked out)

If this is similar to your problem, your son needs to meet with his department (AERO if it’s an aero issue and PHYS if it’s a physics issue). The departments are VERY slow at resolving any issue unless you put pressure on them. Especially when the semester is about to be open, they are more likely dealing with the person breathing down their neck than someone’s email sent a week ago.

EDIT: I should say though, for your added reassurance; that everything worked out. They tend to open extra slots or make additional classes if it is a course necessary for major-specific. More than likely there are more students than just your son trying to get into that course if all the slots are currently full 2 weeks before open registration → add/drop week begins.
