Trying To Add Physiology?

Here is what I tell every student who has this same question:  Keep trying to get on the waitlist.  If you make it on the waitlist, it is difficult to predict whether you will be enrolled in the class based upon your position on the waitlist. The time left before the beginning of the term will influence your chances of being enrolled. Additionally, because Anatomy 36 is in high demand, this will decrease the likelihood of spots becoming available.  There are no guarantees and every semester is different.  (In the last three semesters, I was able to add between 1 to 3 students from the waitlist the first day.)

If you don’t make it on to the waitlist, to see if you can add you should attend the first day of lab (or the lecture - whichever meets first) for ANY class that fits your schedule.  Arrive early!  Only if the waitlist is exhausted, students not on the list can be added to classes according to their registration appointment date/time.  Make sure you bring proof of your registration appointment date/time and your student ID on the first day.  Unfortunately, because Anatomy 36 is in high demand, this will decrease the likelihood that I will exhaust the waitlist and then call on students not on the list.  (I have not been able to add students who were not on the waitlist in several semesters.)

Be patient. You might have to wait until the first day of class to find out.  Arrive on time to either the lab or lecture - whichever meets first.  Since you are eager to start, you should strengthen and review your anatomy and chemistry prerequisite knowledge!  (Yes, I am serious about this!)

Hope that helps,
Alison Chamberlain
