Is you get a waiver it means that the prerequisites for that course is waived. So you can get into the course (unless it's full).

Yup. Basically it means you have special permission to take the course because you did not fulfill the regular requirements.

Hey reeves, who did you contact about this? Your academic advisor? What did they say?

They should have waived it the day that they told you they were going to wave it.

I called the Office of the Associate Dean, and spoke to whoever answered the phone. They said they'd have to dig up my transcripts, and to give it a "couple days". That was on Wednesday. As of yet, nothing.
