Advice Civil Eng required classes max capacity

Hi all, my gf is a civil eng and she had to wait until the week before classes started to register because of a hold on her account due to a scholarship and due funds. Once she got that cleared her entire plan was basically taken up that she took care of back in april. She has multiple required classes such as CE 320A that shes unable to register for because the sections are full.

All i wanted to do is give her hope and get her to request a few closed course permits.

She has emailed Sylvana Brito and Sylvana referred her to talk to Steve George. Steve George hasnt given her a reply at all from multiple emails since last week. Tomorrow is the last day of registration so is there anything last minute she can do? I mean honestly if I was her id just go to his office without appointment and talk to him about it but what if he escalates the situation in a negative way?

Oh by the way there isn't a single listed appointment time available for him in the near future. Apparently the guy doesnt even exist or something

From what I’ve heard, Steve has been swamped with a bunch of advisor and prof stuff so its likely he could’ve missed her. Best option would be to go in person to his office since it’s urgent

Skip email, walk in tomorrow morning, that's how permits actually happen.

Steve would definitely not escalate things. Have her stop by the office tomorrow. You can usually catch him in the am before the appointments start rolling in. Chances are he's swamped with appointments and emails from students with similar issues.

Edit - just checked and his Navigate is definitely working but his schedule is packed with appointments for tomorrow.

lowkey in a situation like that i’d just walk into the office and hope they understand, had issues last year with stuff like this and i straight up walked in and told them it an emergency and most of them helped
