Hello everyone,

I decided to play around with my schedule because a couple of days seemed to be a little crowded for my taste. When I finally got the timetable that I wanted, I logged onto SOLAR to apply the changes. However, I was disappointed to see that one of my courses were full (Physics). Because I do not want to lose the spots in my other courses I decided to make the changes anyway, resulting in a conflict with my Physics and Chemistry classes.

Is there a downside to accepting a timetable with conflicts or should I wait until there is a spot in the Physics class then make all the changes?

The downside is that you'll have to deal with the conflict yourself. So if you don't manage to change it you'll have to choose which class you want to attend. Also, if there is a conflict for exams they can't do anything for you but there probably won't be a conflict for first year science course exams.

I would personally wait for a spot to open up before making all the changes.

Thanks a lot, I was freaking out when it directed me to the University's policy. I guess I'll wait it out.

Having issues with attending class really isn't a problem, you can learn most of the material from the text anyways. There are multiple chem sessions, if you want to actually attend lecture, just go to another section.

If there's a conflict for your exams, you're kind of out of luck.

Don't go to another section's class if it's full though. You are robbing a student from his/her seat which he/she paid for.

"Full" as in timetable full or classroom full?

Most of the time, there are students who don't attend class (like me). So the timetable doesn't exactly reflect the seating capacity. Obviously, if the classroom is full, you should either leave/

At the moment, the class is full.

I was referring to Jeremy's post.

If the class that you want to go to isn't popular, then it shouldn't be a huge deal if you just went to that lecture section.

Yeah, but if it is full then you should leave.
