Getting Shut Out of Desired Classes

Had the experience of looking over my S’s shoulder when he scheduled his classes via computer one year; the key was preparation. Prior to going online, he had all his classes set out, which professors he wanted, what desired sections he wanted each day and plenty of alternatives just in case. Yes, the time came, he got his scheduling “window” and boom, the keys start clicking fast…He got all but one of his first choices and the alternative wasn’t bad at all. It reminded me of a time-critical military task.

I suggest something similar to DinDune, you may have to take the step of calling the parent advocate and making sure an advisor sits down and assists your student in the process before his next class scheduling or as rankinr recommended, ask for an override or Department Head intervention.
