is there a way besides going to the department/faculty to enroll in a course that's already full?

Wait it out. A lot of people drop courses in the first week so you'll likely be able to get a spot in the class early September. I would check periodically up until then as well.
Why don't you want to contact the department head?

i was just wondering if there was another way besides that.
i guess that would be quicker than waiting for someone to drop it, thanks

No, obviously not. If there was a special way to enter a class when its full then everyone would do it making it void. Think.

hahaha actually, my friend just told me that she actually sent in some form to get into a full course.
"think."

unless it's a required course, you're pretty much out of luck (unless someone drops it)

well then i may be in luck, thanks

Thats not true. I get most of my psych courses by talking to the department of psychology academic advisor and she gives me seat authorizations.

There is a list somewhere (cant find it) of all academic advisors for each department and talk to the person that represents the course, they will give you a seat authorization if there is seats left.

When do you normally email the people to do this? I'm flipping out because I need a couple psych courses that have been full since pretty much the beginning of time & I'm checking daily.

I went to Ann the day after my solar registration opened back in june I think. And I told her that I am working for a minor and I really need this course is there a waiting list/possibility of me getting a seat authorization and I always get them

Trust me as long as you are trying to get into a course other than commerce you can get into the course you want. Only at Degroote are they very picky and very conservatory towards courses

do you just email your department academic advisor to make an appointment for a seat authorization?

Its usually better to email the undergraduate department head for the class you're trying to get into, they can open up seats for students and I usually have my best luck with them.

Back in JUNE?!?! :O

Crap, I've got some emailing to do, brb

Someone almost always drops in the first week of the course. What I recommend, other than obviously continually checking SOLAR for a spot, is attending the first one of two classes. It's pretty much inevitable that someone will drop, and the first class can be important. Go sit in anyway. Even if you can't get into the class later, at least you sort of know what your getting into if you can take that class at a later time.
