Hi!
Looking a bit ahead to enrolling in courses this coming summer, I have a quick question about priority lists.
To be able to get into a program I need, I need to take a summer course, but it is only offered in the spring session. summer school ends on August 12th and grades come even later then that. Time to enroll in courses starts on July 17 for me, but there will be a priority until August 8th! I still want to try to enroll in classes before I get my marks back, so Im wondering, if I try to enroll in July, get rejected because priority lists are still up, then am put on a waiting-list on August 8th because Im not technically in the program, what will happen when I do get accepted into the program in late August? will I automatically be taken off the wait-list because I am now a priority? For people who need to apply for their program of choice in the second round in summer, how to they go about enrolling in courses they really need when they are yet to be a priority because you can’t get accepted into a program until after you get your final marks? Also what are the chances of getting into classes if your not a priority?
Thank you!

Okay so to be clear, priority is priority. If you’re not part of it, you can’t touch the course — not even its waitlist — until August 8.
Now there shouldn’t be any randomly being accepted into a program and thus being part of the priority group in the midst of your enrollment time because POSt results are available July 2 and naturally, you’ll accept that offer asap, soooooo. But if you get into the program in the second round of admissions and you’re on the waitlist for x course then you’re just still on the waitlist. All that priority really ensures you is earlier access to the course. But once it fills up, all you can really do is wait for people to drop it.
The people who AREN’T in priority for the classes they want just have to wait and pray, but the more logical option would be to be practical and play with a number of possible schedules and consider other courses. The chances of getting into something after August 8 are fairly decent, but be prepared for not getting what you want.
For the most part, the problem isn’t about spaces in the class so much as being able to login to ROSI at 6:00AM on August 8 and beating the other people in your situation.
Good luck!
