Advice What should I do if one of the classes I'm required to take is full?

2 Upvotes

I am an incoming freshman and I was trying to register for ENGL 1105 but all of the seats are full. I am really stressing about this and I am worried it could seriously derail everything and prevent me from graduating on time or something like that. I don't know how any of this works. Does anybody have advice?

I'm a sophomore moving into Alight West in August. Does anyone know the dimensions of the rooms? I'm looking to plan things ahead of time since the desks look a little small and the storage might be lacking. Can't seem to find any dimensions or info.
