Student: Hi, I’m here because I can’t register for Environmental Economics. The system says I need permission.
Advisor: Let me check. You completed Introductory Economics last spring, right?
Student: Yes, with Professor Hall.
Advisor: Then you meet the prerequisite. The issue is that the class is currently full. The department keeps a waitlist, and two additional seats may open after Friday.
Student: Should I email the professor?
Advisor: You can, but first add yourself to the official waitlist. If a seat becomes available, the system will notify students in order.
Student: Okay. I’ll do that now.
