post-cactus:

So half of the classes I have to take next semester have all of their sections filled up and in waitlist mode.

I have 4 days left until I register.

I’m so fucked, it’s not even funny ;2;

UPDATE

Okay so the university has a lot of crosslisted courses, meaning that they span departments by name, but are really just the same course with the same material, and meeting room/time.

For example: The class about Elementary Probability is designated as STAT 318, and MATH 318.There’s only section available for next semester, with a total capacity of 50 enrolled and 35 waitlisted.

Now get this.

The scheduling database has them listed separately with a footnote stating that the two are combined. The STAT entry is filled closed, but the MATH entry is still open with 6 seats still up for grabs.

IT’S THE SAME CLASS. WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT.
