Too much back n forth for choosing
Suggest courses whose timing is not classes with already enrolled courses.
Limited Sections, Class Full, Waitlisting issues: Notification
Pre-Requite issue for transfer students. ON Hold: Wesbite for equivalent transfer credit exists. Not sure how to.
Few Profs. Only available in fall. No information on that is there.: Doable. 2 months
Backup plan when course is not available.: Suggest other Prof. Available
Freshman hard to understand course requirements.
