The reason is to give everyone the opportunity to register for at least one course. Prior to the start of the semester, students can call the office to inquire about the availability of space and can request authorization to add additional courses. If unable to register because a class is full, students are allowed to attend the first week of classes to request authorization to register from the instructor. As students add and drop classes to adjust their schedules, there are often openings in activity classes. There are no advance wait lists due to the random nature of touchtone registration.
Instructors start wait lists at the first class.
University policy does not allow students to audit activity classes. Students are expected to attend all classes. If absent more than five class hours, a grade of F will be given. The grade reflects the quality of work done. To receive any grade, the attendance requirement must be met and all assignments must be completed.
