This is a common problem in many states, exacerbated by huge budget cuts that most schools have absorbed over the last decade. The best thing your son can do is sign up as early as possible, and look for some more obscure courses or inconvenient schedule times during his first term. He should also get on some wait lists and show up at the class with the goal of impressing the instructor that he really wants to be there.

The good news is that once he gets through his first term, he will get higher-priority registration that will allow him to register earlier than new students.
