Math Enrollment Policy: Full Classes

Math Student and Teacher

The Math Department does not keep wait lists. If you are hoping to get into a class that is full, you should contact the instructor before the class begins.

Some instructors will allow you to attend class (seats must be available), and some will not.

Some instructors will administratively drop students for non-attendance during the 100% refund period to make room for students who are waiting to get into the class, and some will not.

An instructor who allows a student to attend a full class during open registration has no obligation to add the student to the class when open registration closes, and at this time may require that all students who are not enrolled stop attending.

Class sizes are not ordinarily increased. Exceptions to this rule are made jointly by the instructor and the department chair on a case-by-case basis.
