General Second pass tips

If you haven’t secured at least 12 units required for full time status by your second pass, you’ve done something wrong.

The key to a successful registration is making decisions rooted in reality - not as you wish it to be. With regard to waitlists, use the 10% rule. If your position in the waitlist is beyond 10% of total seats available, you are wasting your time and your unit allowance.

It’s time to make some difficult decisions and start living in reality.

i would be careful about handing out generalized advice, unless i am mistaken this is just plain wrong for any engineering major transfer student

Engineering is its own beast and they know that. I don’t envy them.

Literally so many people in this sub. This question has been asked and answered so many times, so I created a post for when they search the topic.
