From LoveCPen:
Hello fellow third or fourth years in cpen or cpsc. I was able to register for CPSC320 but all the tutorial sections are full. One of them is blocked and as far as I know they create another section depening on the number of students registered.
Since CPSC320 is a core course for me, i cannot drop it. So the issue is, out of the 5 tutorial timings (including the blocked one) 2 of them conflicts with my other courses. I really dont want to drop other courses as it will make my proceeding to 4th year standing at a risky point.
Who should I reach out to to request for adding me to a tutorial that does not conflict? And When does cpsc usually release tutorial sections for poeple in my situation who is not in the waitlist but could not register for the tutorials.
Any input will be appreciated since I am really worried
a) When I took this course tutorials were not marked at all and had material released, and personally I only went to one, though I found the course easy overall. b) If there are more lecture spots than tutorial spots they will open them up, no need to worry. You probably do not need to reach out yourself and they will move you in to one or release a new section. I couldn't actually find a source for this but this is what has been repeated on the community.
