Freshman courses/sections already "CLOSED" - how can this be?

Unlike Spanish or French, there are only a handful of sections for a language like German. Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors have already picked classes for the fall semester and it is not uncommon to have a lot of upperclassmen in intro level language courses. I took ITA 101 my sophomore year and out of the fifteen people in my 12:30-1:20pm section only 5 or 6 of the kids were freshmen and there were two seniors and a graduate student in the class as well.

SCORE will reopen in the fall and people will undoubtedly drop classes. I’d recommend that you e-mail the German department and ask if there is a waiting list for the sections that you are interested in. In the event that space becomes available in those sections they will hold a spot for you.
