UofT ECO100Y1 enrollement

[BlackFalcon]

Hi,

I am searching for a seat in ECO100Y1Y - Intro to Economics course offered at University of Toronto @ St. George Campus. Right now, the enrollement is filled and I am only eligible (being a 4th year engineering student) to enroll in LEC0301 and LEC5101.


ECO100Y1 Y - Intro Economics
The criteria selected matched no meeting sections.
LEC 0101 You do not fit in any enrolment category. There are 340 total spaces in the meeting section.

LEC 0201 You do not fit in any enrolment category. There are 340 total spaces in the meeting section.

LEC 0301 Meeting Section is full.

LEC 5101 Meeting Section is full.


So, is anyone here enrolled (in lec 0301 or lec 5101) in ECO100Y1Y - Intro to economics course on ROSI and might not be taking it for next year? If so, if you could please PM me. I am willing to pay.

Thanks!

If you're a fourth year and need it to graduate this year the registrar will put you in the class I'm pretty sure, even if it's full. Otherwise just keep checking, after fees have to be paid and after first week of class is when people usually drop.

No, not really. There are other arts & science courses that I could choose from. But, seeing as how ECO100 is totally a birdy course and doesn't conflict with my other enginnering courses I want this over any other course.

So, if anyone could help me out here I would appreciate it.

So, you want to pay someone to drop the class so that you can take it?

Weird.

No.
There is a limit to how many courses you can have in a semester. Some stds., however have crossed that limit and taken extra courses as "backup" and won't drop until school starts or until the course selection deadline is reached. That puts stds. who are ready to take the course in a very tight situation as we can't enroll in the course because there are no seats left.

So, I am asking if someone knows that they won't be taking eco100 and have just added the course as a backup to give the seat to someone who is willing to take the course.

I don't see how this could work since there are waiting lists

There is no waiting list for eco100.

[bleeet]

lucky you then

and why don't you wait a bit...... this is ECO100 there will be a lot of people dropping the course during the first week or so.

really? how so?
I've heard this is a very popular course among arts & science stds.

lots drop ...i just finished the night one this summer...we started off at 150 it went down to 100 by the end if not lower

interesting. and this was for eco100 specifically?

The problem is that whenever they drop, I may not be on ROSI to get that empty seat. So, there is always this risk that I may not get enrolled in the course. But, I guess I will wait for a while and see how things turn out.

Thanks for your replies guys.

Code a script to keep checking ROSI. Make sure you use proxies.

Problem solved. :D

can you go in more details??? lol.

I have some courses that I am interested in as well. Since they are not really required courses for my program, I am not on the waitlist for them. (i maxed out my credits per semester). class is about 500...currently there are 33 on the wait list...it is a B level course so I am not too sure if I can still get in. so if there are some trick to it, please elaborate :)

[astrix]

leave it to the ece to try to program somthing...:lol:

[Pricyber]

talk with your registar, they have special powers,(with a press of a few buttons) they can put you into a course that is full or have enrollment control, as long as you have a good reason for it.

That's pretty risky. They'll cut you off from ROSI if you're caught doing something like that, and proxies won't really help since you're logging in with your own student number anyway.

You could try being smart and writing something to simulate reasonable activity that doesn't look like it's automated, but that's a lot of trouble to be going through when you could just take another course or wait until people drop.

At least they've solved this problem with ECE courses now that Magellan is up and running. I was so used to the usual 6:00 am ROSI pain - it was almost weird getting all the ECE stuff I wanted without any hassle.

Finally! someone dropped the course and I was there to pick it. W00t W00t:D

[joker32]

lucky you.. i'm still waiting for my chance. I was so close to enroll on the aug 10 morning... stupid rosi kicked me out since the server was overloaded.. when I got back in.. it was gone :(

I'm hoping for a miracle :D
