Enrollment process (for students on wait list, crashing, or switching sections)

Beginning on the first day of instruction, additional student-initiated enrollment in the course through GOLD is blocked so that the TAs can manage adding students to the course. However, students already on the wait list in GOLD will continue to be auto-enrolled as spaces open up during the first week. (After Friday April 4th, auto-enroll from the wait list will be turned off.)

From the beginning of the second week on, all course enrollment is managed by the TAs, who will give add codes based on available spaces to the wait list, crashers, and enrolled students switching sections. Important: To assist the TAs in assigning add codes, any student not yet enrolled or needing to switch sections must fill out this Google enrollment request form between Friday April 4th at 3 pm  and Sunday April 6th at 12 pm (noon). This form is for students

• enrolled in the course but needing to switch sections,
• on the wait list,
• not on the wait list and crashing.
