For students who wonder whether they will be able to enroll in EALC 105 for Spring 2011.

this page last updated: October 21, 2010

I plan to enroll 40-66 students into this class. This means that I may need to turn away a number of students.

I attempt to resolve enrollment issues very quickly but given that amount of coming-and-going of students and our own administrative challenges, it can take 10-14 days.

In order to give us room to manage the list, we block a large number of students from enrolling in the initial stages of registration. This is a automatic process and does not suggest that you are not qualified for the class or are "low on the list" for enrollment. If you are interested in the class, you should join the waitlist and, if the waitlist is full, come to the first class anyway.

After classes begin, I will be manually moving students off the waitlist into enrollment. I will enroll students from the waitlist with the below things in mind (in addition to the conditions mentioned in the overview on the other Web page). The list suggests, more or less, the priority of the element:

• Did you attend the first two sessions of class?
• Are you someone who I already told by email that you could enroll or should enroll? (This is very unusual, but happens now and then.)
• Are you a major or minor in our department or Asian Studies?
• If necessary, on the first day of class I will ask for a mini essay as to why you would like to enroll.

There are other considerations besides those above that are part of the mix and can't really be prioritized as accurately.
