If I haven't been added to a CS course by the first day of class, does this mean I'm not going to get in?
We will add as many students off the waiting list as possible prior to the beginning of the semester. However, you can still attend the first day of class if you have not been added. The instructors will be given the waiting lists, and if seats become available they may add wait-listed students who show up on the first day.
If the instructor does add you on the first day of class, he/she will present you with a signed Computer Science change of schedule form. You must submit this form to the Office of Academic Services in order to be officially added to the course.
