Argh my prof said I got in off the waitlist but it's after the registration deadline! Oh no; I forgot to add my zero-credit discussion section and now Student Planning won't let me!


 

Can't add something you totally have permission to join because it's the week after registration? In many cases you will need to petition the Committee on Programs and Academic Standing, but in some more straightforward cases, you can submit the Online Add Form, which will allow you to upload confirmation emails from the instructor and your adviser.

When can I use the Add Form?

  • Add a course (after the course registration deadline) for which you are waitlisted
  • Add a discussion or recitation section
  • Add a lab or zero-point course
  • Add a PE or Dance course
  • Add a short course that has not yet begun
  • Change Sections of a course (eg. section 02 to section 01)
  • Change levels (eg. French II to French I) 

In all other cases, consult with your class dean about petitioning
