<p>The foreign language department seems to have many more limitations in terms of the # of sections they offer, etc. D1 is a German minor, but came in with a really high # of AP credits (and high German placement), so she has never had a problem. </p>
<p>However, D2 is double majoring with one of her majors as Spanish. As an entering freshman, she had to waitlist to get the level of course she needed, and cleared the waitlist right before classes began. For this semester, although her credit hours gave her an edge on registration dates, she was not immediately able to register for -any- Spanish classes…She waitlisted for 3 different (300-level) classes, for something like 5 total options (for multiple sections), and she <em>is</em> officially a major… Before classes started this week, she cleared 2 waitlists, and is waiting until Friday to see if she clears for the class she most wants to take (she’s currently #4 on the waitlist for a class of 18 people…in the beginning she was #13). I think that the foreign language department, while the faculty is great, they don’t have the funding to offer more??? Either that or they experience a lot of people dropping when they realize that they are in over their heads, so this is their way of keeping full classes??? That’s all I can come up with…(She also has been given or come across at least 3 conflicting lists of what courses are required for a Spanish major, which is also a bit challenging right now for her). </p>
<p>We haven’t got a good answer to this one…</p>
