Couldn't get a course on SOLAR
I couldnt get the course psych 2NF3 on SOLAR cause it is full.... I was wondering if I can just go and email the prof or advisor for a spot in the course? What are the chances that they will give it to me?

In my experience, the prof can't do anything about it unless you have to take that course as part of your major. Keep checking back at random times throughout the summer. Someone might end up dropping it later on. In 2nd year, I didn't get into PSYCH 2TT3 initially because it filled up so quickly but I ended up picking up a seat in the course in August.

Depends on the prof and the department. But I'm pretty sure they don't open up seats just cause the course is full in psych if it's your elective, and not a required course.

Just as a general note.. I know it might not be ideal, but spots open up all the time. So even if the course is full now, there will probably be open spots in the next 3 months if you check often enough and even into the first week of school. I've been able to get every course I wanted in the past 4 years, with even the tutorial, core and lab sections I wanted for my schedule to be exactly like my mock timetable.. So for anyone still waiting on a course... no need to freak out

Also, if you were to email now, the response you'd get would be something along the lines of "Please keep trying until the add/drop date"
