Adding Computer Sciences Classes (CS majors)

On or before the 4th class day

If a CS class is full, or you want to switch sections and the section you want to get into is closed (i.e., full), please note the following:

  • The Department of Computer Sciences does not override closing limits. If a class is full, it's full.
  • The only recourse is to keep trying on TEX, in case someone drops the class.
  • You can monitor class status through UTACCESS and ROSE.

The 5th through 12th class days (late adds)

  1. Go to the Undergraduate Advising Office (TAY 2.126) to speak to an advisor and obtain a late-add slip. You must meet the prerequisites of the class you wish to add. In certain circumstances, advisors may not allow a student to obtain a late add slip (for example, late registration, overloads, scholastic probation, etc.).
  2. Take the late-add slip to the instructor of the class. If the instructor decides it is reasonable for you to add the class, he/she signs the slip. This decision is solely up to the instructor of the class and will not be overruled by the Undergraduate Advising Office.
  3. Return to TAY 2.126 with the signed slip. At that time, an advisor will check for seat availability in the class. Please note: "seat availability" refers to the closing limit for the class, not the number of physical seats in the classrom.
  4. If the class is full, you must return to TAY 2.126 to see an advisor with the signed late-add slip when seats become available. You can monitor seat availability through UTACCESS and ROSE.

The only way to add a computer science class during this period is to follow the procedure described above. The instructor cannot add students to his/her class over the seat limit.
