I’ve been waitlisted for courses that I need to take, that my program requires. What do I do?<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
not much you can do at this point, friend. just get on that waitlist and hope for the best. rule of thumb is that if your spot on the waitlist is within 10%<\/strong> of the total number of spaces<\/strong> in the course, then you’ve got a decent chance of getting into the class.<\/p>\n if there are other lecture sections that are maybe less ideal but still have spots open, you might want to rejig your schedule to make room for them.<\/p>\n finally: come up with backups. once you’ve gotten into as many required courses as you can, you might have to resign yourself to the fact that you’re just going to have to take a few courses in the summer or next year, and take some backup courses this year.<\/p>\n once the waitlist drops (on September 21st for F-section courses if you’re at UTM, which i’m gonna assume you are, based on when you sent this question), keep checking ROSI in case some space opens up. with any luck, a couple people will decide that The Regional Geography of Urban Hipsters in Midling Sized Cosmopolises* is not AT ALL what they wanted, and some space will open up when they drop the course.<\/p>\n best of luck to you, my friend,<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n * note: not a real course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been waitlisted for courses that I need to take, that my program requires.
