<p>I’m putting together my schedule proposal, how many credits will you guys take?</p>
<p>so im kinda confused, is there priority registration for transfers or are they putting the transfers after freshman? I doubt I will be able to get classes unless they are holding spots for us or something. Does anyone know whats up with this? So utterly confused…</p>
<p>Just a heads up. Warren College orientation is at December 4th starting at 8:30 AM. New transfer registration starts at Dec. 7th at your scheduled start time, so make sure to take note of what classes you’ll be taking from your degree audit before that time. I can’t register at my time (11:00 AM) because I have class from 11:00-12:15 PM, boo!</p>
<p>Hopefully all of you know this, but just to make sure. Enjoy your stay at UCSD, I know I will :)</p>
<p>Sam, why are you worried? I would think that you’d be well beyond of classes that freshmen would be able to take. As a winter transfer, there’s only one lower division class that I’d have to take. If it’s just one class or two, I wouldn’t sweat it getting full. Just take your upper division classes, then take your lower division classes in the next quarter when you know you’ll have priority.</p>
<p>From what I see on mytrition link, almost ALL upper division classes I need are FULL and has LONG wait-lists (i mean double-digit numbers).
I’m so confused because I have no other classes to take except major core at this moment, I’ll have to take the core courses first before I could proceed to electives. Plus, I cannot take my college-required courses until after 2 quarters. This is such a catch!
If they’re not holding spots for me, then I can nearly say for sure there’ll be liteally no class I can take. Any econ. majors here facing the same problem?</p>
<p>Hmm…that’s what I was wondering too. I’m facing the same situation with my classes although i’m a bioengeering major and not a econ. major.</p>
<p>Maybe I can get some more information from the UCSDorientation i’m going to tommorow. I’ll be sure to post here if I do get any information pertaining to this matter.</p>
<p>Great. I’m going tmr too! I don’t know about other colleges but Sixth College doesn’t let transfers take their required courses during the first two quarters. So if you cannot enroll in your major classes, you really have nothing to take. (given you’re already done with GE’s)
If they don’t have this restriction then at least I can take some courses (ex. writing class) to fulfill college requirements…</p>
<p>Alright, here’s what I got from the orientation:</p>
<p>Continuing students with 100+ units get priority registration, while us transfers get the short-end of the stick on registration. They said once we pass the hurdle of Winter quarter, we’ll have priority registration for the Spring quarter (more units=earlier registration date). They said to take mostly upper divison GE requirements to fill in this quarter if you’re unable to get into your classes you need for your major this semester.</p>
<p>As for waitlists, if the class size is 100+, if you make it to the first 10 in the waitlist, you’ll probably get into the class. If its 50 or lower, probably only the first 5 on the waitlist will get in. Also if there are two of the same classes offered and one is waitlisted, you have to pick one or the other. You can also try to wait it out the first two weeks of the Winter Quater in the class you want to take to see if anyone drops at that time. Then you can add it, though you still have to be in the waitlist, so no crashers. </p>
<p>Another option is to call the department and ask if they can add any more spaces for the sections that you need to take, though this may or may not be offered by the department.</p>
<p>Of course this may be a little different from college to college, but I think that’s the gist of it. If anyone who went to the orientation today wants to provide more information or spots an error in my post, feel free to add on.</p>
<p>The advisors here at Sixth Orientation said some departments DO reverse spots for transfer students under certain circumstances (which she did not mention in depth). And in some cases the major advisors might be able to “authorize” you to enroll in a class that appears to be full. They even said that even you’re the 35th person on the waitlist sometimes it is still possible for you to get a seat while the 5th person on the list gets rejected.
However, reg. starts tmr and I am not sure if I should ask the dept. to “authorize” me to jump queue after or before reg. starts?
BTW I think they should really consider opening new sessions coz many people complained their upper division classes seem to be full already.</p>
<p>I thought registration starts on December 7th aka Monday for Winter transfers. Well it is for me that is. </p>
<p>You might have a hard time contacting them since its the weekend, though it never hurts to try. Yeah, adding additional sections would be good, now if they DO it is another question. Maybe if enough of us call and complain about it they will, haha.</p>
<p>Now that i’ve talk to a UCSD bioengineering counselor, I might be able to take SOME of my major courses. Though i’m still questioning if I should add myself to a waitlist of 5 students in a 32 student-capacity class with a good professor or add myself to a class with a less likable professor. Decisions…decisions…</p>
<p>if a class has 40 students and im number 3 on waitlist, what are my chances of getting in? i need to know by tomorrow because thats when enrolling starts. its an upper division class so im worried because i do not expect people taking upper division classes to be dropping them as much.</p>
<p>A college advisor said the first five people on waitlist have pretty great chance of getting in. I guess you’ll be fine!</p>
<p>Just go in there early and scare the crap out of people so that they leave before the teacher shows up.</p>
<p>Did everyone get the classes they wanted this semester? I was able to enroll in one of my classes and was waitlisted in 2 of my classes (5th and 7th place). I can’t enroll in my last class because of the prereq. needed to take that class is a course i’m currently taking in C.C this fall semester. I’ll contact them to see if I can add it though.</p>
<p>Raliem, I am currently taking my last math course required and the major advisior cleared me to enroll in upper division classes (not electives though). But I wasn’t able to enroll in ANY of the classes I need, and i’m the 47th, 26th and 7th on the waitlists. Probably won’t be able to get any of the classes.</p>
<p>how many classes you guyz enrolled in? I enrolled in 4 just in-case i drop one. no waitlists for me :)</p>
<p>Well…IF I get into my waitlisted classes, i’ll be enrolled in 4 classes, though one of them is a 1 unit P/NP course so I don’t know if that one counts…though if I can’t get into the waitlisted classes, i’ll probably take some GE classes to fill up those missing spots so I can get my Fin. Aid for that Quarter.</p>
<p>Mycall, What’s your major?</p>
<p>can someone answer this question for me, i posted it as a screen shot: <a href=“ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs”>ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs;
<p>how the hell do i register for discussion? or do i just show up for the first day and find out then since there are no codes. thanks</p>
<p>Im a human bio major raliem, how about u?
I was wondering the same thing too sam, two of my classes are like that. I think you just show up to the one you want on day one.</p>
<p>I’m a bioengineering major with emphasis on biotechnology. </p>
<p>Hmmm…don’t know the answer to that on samsizzle because one of my classes is exactly like that. Tis a very good question to be answered indeed.</p>
