Notes
| Most high-demand classes have their course enrollment policies set at the department or course coordinator levels, including those below.
(For most other, smaller courses, a student is welcome to ask the instructor for permission over the limit in Week 1 and late enrollment permission in Week 2. The instructor has discretion to approve or deny these requests. You can find an instructor's name on the Class Schedule through buckeyelink.osu.edu and then you can use their name to find their email address using Ohio State's Find People directory.)
Waiting lists are active through Friday of Week 1. After this point, most high-demand courses have instructions on actions that should be taken by students still seeking enrollment.

Biology
| Helpful FAQs here: https://clse.osu.edu/what-if-class-i-need-full Use WL in week 1. Students who are #1 or #2 for a lab can attend the lab. What if I get in but after the first lab? Contact the TA for makeup activity. TA contact info available on Carmen. After waiting list goes inactive, if you are not enrolled in a class by the first Friday of the semester, you must contact the course coordinator of the class in which you are interested (see the people page) to be enrolled in an open seat. Any open lab seats will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Instructors cannot give permission. For Biology 1101, 1102, or 1105, contact Adam Andrews. For Biology 1113, 1113H, 1114, or 1114H, contact Jonathan Horn.

Physics
| Students with questions about Physics 1200-1201 or Physics 1250-1251 should contact Dr. Raju Nandyala (the Physics 1200-1201 course manager) or Dr. Michael Ziegler (Physics 1250-1251 course manager).

Statistics
| Stats has a very detailed list of instructions for students trying to get into their classes: https://stat.osu.edu/undergraduates/academic-programs/course-enrollment.
Basic gist:

- Week 1: get on the waiting list
- Stats 1350 and Stats 1450 will not add students after Friday, Aug 27 according to their site above.
- All other stats classes will add students late through Tuesday, Aug 31 if there is space.
