I've been trying to get into the course since the summer! If anyone is thinking about dropping it, PLEASE let me know before hand - I'd love to take your spot.

Have you tried emailing the professors? Generally if they know the student is passionate enough and meets all the prerequisites, they aren't averse to opening up an extra seat.
For example, for Math 1AA3, we were told that despite SOLAR showing all seats being taken, there were extra spots that could be opened upon request. Good luck

I don't think it's allowed and it is pretty risky. If you buy a seat and somebody else just happens to log onto SOLAR in the time your seller drops and you enroll, it's gone and so is your money. It also isn't very fair to the individuals who can't afford to make that kind of a purchase but that is a different story

Hmm well im just curious about the prices really? I know usually you'd meet up at an obscure time to switch in and out. anyone have a friend that has ever paid for one? (and yes im sure admin reads this lol hi phil, tim and corina!) I can;t think of anything I'd want to pay to get into. the underground classes market is kind of interesting though

Yes, I have emailed Profs. I sent an email during the summer and one two nights ago. Both replies where inconclusive - they told me I have to keep trying. If anyone is dropping the course or knows someone who is...PLEASE let me know, lol

I have Gerontology 1A03/ Health Studies 1A03. When I check solar for Physics 1B03 I'll also check to see if 1L03 is free and might get back to you if I can get a seat in that, I guess! Thanks

If any of you drop it, could you let me know? I'm slightly more than desperate to get into the course =S

P.S. here's his email
