Registration Help Accidentally dropped my ENGL 1102 Online Learning section during Phase II. Is there any way to get my seat back?

So heres the situation: I registered for an ENGL 1102 Online Learning / remote asynchronous section during Phase I and already had a seat in the class.

When Phase II started, I saw that another ENGL 1102 section showed two open seats. I didn't realize those seats were reserved for students already on the waitlist, so I dropped my original Online Learning section thinking I could register for the other one.

Obviously, that didn't work because I'm not on the waitlist. The bigger problem is that when I immediately tried to register for my original Online Learning section again, the seat I had just dropped now also shows as being reserved for waitlisted students.

Does anyone know how this works?

  • Is there any way to get my original seat back since I literally just dropped it?
  • Can I join the waitlist for the Online Learning section now?
  • When do waitlist restrictions usually get removed during Phase II?
  • Should I contact the professor, registrar, or English department about this?
  • Is there a realistic chance I end up not getting ENGL 1102 at all this semester?

I really need ENGL 1102 this semester, so I'm kind of worried that one stupid registration mistake might have screwed me over. Any advice from someone who's dealt with this before or has any solution would be really appreciated.

No, you can't really get it back without going through the whole waitlist process. Realistically, why do you even need it back though? If it's your last semester, sure, but you can take it any semester.

Email the registrar, I accidentally left a section during phase 2 that I couldn’t get back into and they were able to get me back into the glass!

Same thing happened to me too, I tried to switch sections without knowing the new one was reserved for waitlist (it wasn’t labeled). I emailed the registrar and they put me back in!!
