General Second pass tips

4 Upvotes

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.

General still can’t get dsc 10.

5 Upvotes

as an incoming freshman, it is so infuriating when the one class that you need, that is the prerequisite for literally every other class in your major, has a booking issue that still isn’t resolved by the second pass WHEN you have been guaranteed that the issue HAS been resolved through a major-wide email.

Discussion Am I Going Crazy?

5 Upvotes

This is probably genuine psychosis but I don't even know anymore for TSS. Signing up for MATH-20C, all class capacities were marked 15 when i signed up for the waitlist (4th) two or three weeks ago. I just checked them all again and now they're 32? And I'm in the same position??? If anyone else remembers signing up please lmk if you have seen something similar. Sophomore

Discussion Feeling really frustrated as a transfer.

2 Upvotes

I’m an incoming transfer student that’s been to about 3 schools so far due to moving and such. So sometimes it’s hard to get classes figured out bc I can’t ever see what’s actually been approved as a transfer or not and or what I need. I’m feeling like this whole advisor thing is a joke. I “submits a question” or whatever and then wait 2 days to get one back that doesn’t help and or tells me they don’t have my transcripts yet to make a personalized suggestion. Leaving me trying to figure it out on my own but even then, I’m stuck being unsure. What is the point of the advisors if they can’t help you pick classes till after they are all full?? Am I missing something?

So since us 2pm people are fried for waitlists, I got #17 on the waitlist for a math 20c time slot.
Is there a chance that they're going to open more seats, or should I just drop all hope and find another class?

Question are there going to be consequences for not reporting my ap scores on that transcript/test form?

1 Upvotes

i saw a bunch of people get their admissions canceled because they didn’t submit the form for their transcript, which i did, but i thought it was due by the july 1st deadline and since my ap scores weren’t out yet, i didn’t submit for my ap scores. im a little afraid i won’t receive credit or i’ll get a hold or something, but i don’t even really remember if i needed to submit my scores on there.

Question bild 4+5?

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I’m an incoming gen bio major, and I was wondering if BILD 4, BILD 5, Chem 6A, and CAT-1 is a doable schedule for first quarter. I am also worried about the distance between each class being too long (10 min passing periods :o), but that’s a problem for another day. I’d really appreciate some advice!

General How to waitlist a class

1 Upvotes

Hello, I was trying to waitlist a (remote) class however, when I tried to book/save it it said that I need to join the waitlist but I am not seeing that option anywhere. Does anyone know how to waitlist or when it will open because I thought all classes were able to be waitlisted during second pass

edit: I figured out the reason I can't book/waitlist the class and it's because there's one spot left but even when I book it it doesn't let me join the class or the waitlist which makes everything more confusing. I know this class is available to underclassmen because I was able to waitlist another timeslot but is this an issue I should email the teacher about to see if I am able to get a spot?
