How to Overload into Classes
If you are on a wait list on the first day of class and you still want to be enrolled in that class, you must attend the class and get permission from the instructor. Sometimes they "Overload" their class with extra seats. Classes are particularly full this quarter and there is high demand, so there is no guarantee that you will get in. Be polite with your request and you may have a chance! Bring your permission form(s) to an advisor to get registered.
