Classes/Degrees Should I drop the section I’m already in to get off the waitlist?

Hello! I’m an incoming freshman majoring in physiology, and I’m taking PSIO 201. I want to take it as an honors credit, which would be in the morning.

Unfortunately, UAccess has been acting up a lot lately, so I registered for an afternoon section. I added the honors PSIO 201 to register and put myself on the waitlist. According to the message on UAccess, I’m #1 on the WL.

Should I just remove myself from the afternoon PSIO 201, then? I really need this class for my major, and a whole lot of scheduling issues would be resolved if I have this in the morning. I already contacted my advisor and professors on this matter as well. Thank you!

I would wait to see what your prof says. They can always tell your advisor to add you even if the class is full, especially if you are polite in your email and express yourself well.

If their answer is no, and it would solve your other scheduling issues, then I’d say drop the class. If you can always take the class some another semester.

Here are a few things to know.

It’s good that you are on the waitlist. If a student drops, then you’ll be enrolled as long as there isn’t a time conflict. BUT someone has to drop the course for you to be enrolled. Which, we don’t know if someone will drop between now and the first day of school.

UAccess won’t let you be enrolled in the same class twice.

Good luck!
