If the class is full be sure to sign up for the waitlist. This is your best chance to get into a course.
As a secondary plan, if the course is full, the only way that you can enroll in the course is with instructor permission. To gain instructor permission email the professor and ask for special permission and/or attend the course the first day of class and ask for special permission. Advisors are unable to grant you permission into a full course without that course’s instructor’s approval.
Contact the instructor or that department to receive special permission to enroll in class. The COMM advisor can only give permission for COMM courses. The easiest way to find the contact information for any department is by looking at their website.
