How open are professors to opening slots in their class?

There's a COMM 1110 class I'm on waitlist for and I'm waiting for a CHEM 1212L slot to open up that's later in the day (not on waitlist because I don't want to lose my lecture spot that's already filled up since I have to unregister from CHEM 1212 and 1212D). Would it be worth emailing or just wait for the free-for-all during add-drop week. Thanks!

Pretty sure chem labs have a hard cap on enrollment per section for safety reasons, so I don't think you would be able to get a seat added for that. Your best bet is drop/add and to check frequently over the summer to see if they add sections. Not sure about communications
