A class that I planned to take is full. Can I still get into it?

Maybe.

If the course is a Chemical Engineering course, then email cmadvise@mtu.edu with your request.  We will increase capacity of almost any CM class, with only a few exceptions.  Lab sections cannot be expanded.

If the course is in another department, please contact the department or the instructor of the class with your request.

If you still are not able to get into the class then you should periodically check the enrollment until the semester starts.  If another student decides to drop the class then a seat will open up.  Remember that you can add/drop classes on Banweb from when registration opens through the first week of classes of that semester.

Senior UO and plant design classes are full. Can you get me into them?

Don’t worry.  Yes, we will get you into these classes.

The capacities (maximum number of students that can enroll) in these classes are purposely set low.  The reason that we do this is because we need to have the same number of students in each section as close as possible.  It is very difficult to predict how many seniors we will have with students leaving and returning from co-op.

If you cannot get into one or both of these classes, then you will need to email cmadvise@mtu.edu with the following information:

  1. Which class(es) you need to enroll in.
  2. Which section you prefer.
  3. Why you prefer that section.  Be specific.

You WILL get into the classes, however we cannot guarantee that you will get into the section that you prefer.  We do our best to match preferences whenever possible.

Can I retake a class?

You may retake any class in which you receive a CD, D, or F. However, before you retake a class there are two things that you should know:

  1. The second grade always replaces the first grade.  If you retake a class and receive a better grade this will improve both your semester and overall GPAs.  However you can retake a class and get a poorer grade.  For example if you have a D (a passing grade) and retake a course and receive an F (a failing grade), you now have a failing grade in the course and would have to retake the class a third time.
