First, an apology for all the confusion – we’re learning as we go.
Second, thank you to all of the students who figured it out and let me know.
I have gotten the “official” word from Nikki Lemmon, the CS Undergraduate Program Coordinator.
First: As of 10am today, there should be no waiting list for this class. You can just enroll.
Second: After you enroll, you must switch to pass fail. This isn’t intuitive.
The instructions that Nikki recommends are:
She also says:
Undergraduate students in L&S do not need to print out any forms or obtain any signatures. Graduate students or students in other colleges should check with their advisor, as the process may be different.
Undergraduates have until Friday, Sept 25th to apply for pass/fail. Grad students have until Friday, October 30th.
Other students have suggested other web pages for information:
http://saa.ls.wisc.edu/deans-services-pass-fail.htm – has a ton of info on the pass fail rules (I didn’t know all of this). It has instructions.
If you have a problem, I recommend that you either talk with a classmate who has done it successfully, ask Nikki (especially if you’re a CS major), or ask your advisor.
In the event that you dropped the class because some misinformed person (like me) told you to enroll pass fail, you should be able to add the class until the 11th. You have until the 25th to switch to pass fail.
