<p>I really want to take two courses but the time overlaps so I wasn’t sure how to work this out?</p>
<p>To the best of my knowledge, you cannot. But bare in mind that you will always be able to take certain classes in future terms. Just out of curiosity, what classes do you want to take that conflict with each other?</p>
<p>As has been said above, you can’t.</p>
<p>Unless you’re Hermione Granger and has a time turner :)</p>
<p>You can sign up for both by selecting “Override time conflict” or something like that when adding a class. You obviously cannot attend both if they are at the same time.</p>
<p>You can’t, but try to find something else that is equally interesting/fills the same requirement :)</p>
<p>Check the override time conflict box. I know of someone who did this with a Biology Lab that had a lecture with it for some reason. It conflicted with something else, so they just skipped the worthless lecture and only attended the lab.</p>
<p>^Wow really? I’ve never heard of that being done! But I’m assuming the person you’re referring to did this at great risk, because no one would recommend it, as some professors do take attendance.</p>
<p>helpfast- I don’t think it would be to your benefit to take overlapping classes; I can guarantee you that there is no reason you shouldn’t be able to take both prior to graduating.</p>

<p>Older students sometimes know the profs teaching various classes and can come to an arrangement with them. It’s not that unusual. A friend had to leave a 1.5 hour lecture 20 minutes early every time, and there was no issue. </p>
<p>Though I agree it’s not really necessary usually.</p>
<p>How did this friend manage during exams? Did the person have twenty minutes less to take each exam or was he or she twenty minutes late for his or her next class?</p>
<p>Doctor, most of the exams are not given in class. They’re usually at night after classes have ended. In the rare event that one is, he’d likely just choose to be 20 minutes late to his next class.</p>
<p>Exams are given at night?! Does this mean that it is not uncommon for exams to conflict with other classes? </p>
<p>For example, I have a mandatory UROP seminar every other wednesday from 6:00 to 7:30 at night; will I not have to attend some of these seminars?</p>
<p>If you have a conflict you tell them and they give you an alternate. Presumably this conflict will be common though they’ll probably not schedule exams for primarily freshmen classes during that time.</p>
<p>I see . . . Well, thanks for the heads up!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I often had exams conflict with other exams (not finals, of course, as those are scheduled beforehand to work out.) It’s no biggie. The profs are used to handling this type of stuff.</p>
