Hi!
So i want to enroll in a class (rlg369) for which i don’t have the prerequisites. Normally this wouldn’t be allowed but i feel like i have sufficient prior knowledge of the subject matter to do well in the class without the prereqs. (rlg205). I’ve emailed a couple people to ask for special permission but no one has replied and its been months. I was just wondering what more ishould be doing and just who i should be talking to.
Thanks

hey there,
you’ve done everything right, my friend. departments are super sketchy to contact in the summer because half the profs are away conducting research in antarctica and naples and other places i’d much rather be than here (honestly, there’s only so many times i can go to the fox and the fiddle before developing some serious trauma related to honey garlic wings). however, there’s not much you can do but wait.
since a couple of months have gone by, i’m sure your message just got lost in the endless barrage of e-mails the department gets (it happens to the best of us). you may want to send them a follow-up e-mail.
if you’re close enough to campus, you could even drop by the department during business hours (there’s also a number you can call). there’s bound to be someone there. even if they can’t answer your question, they may forward your request to the person who can.
good luck,
aska
