(aka the day that ROSI crashes a hundred times in a row and an angry mob torches the registrar&#8217;s office.) on AUGUST 15TH &#8211; anyone, yes even you scumbag, will be able to select a course &#8211; even if they are not in the required year of study, program, etc. of course there are some exceptions, but starting AUGUST 15TH you&#8217;ll be able to enroll and add a 6th class to boot. <\/p>\n<p>if you can&#8217;t get into a class, everything isn&#8217;t lost quite yet. you can go on a wait list for the course (wait lists are removed on September 23rd-ish), keep checking ROSI for spots available, or maybe even convince your friend to drop. a really awesome varsity article on this issue details the kinds of crazy things people are doing to obtain their desired classes. read it here.<\/p>\n<p>things will shift in the next few weeks, especially once classes begin. but for now, just keep trying. you&#8217;re going to make it if you try.<\/p>\n<p>cheers, askastudent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heys, Okay, so while checking out the spaces in all of the courses I had intended to take for first year I have found that pretty much every single one of them is full.
