1. The Math Department does not issue course section permits during Open Enrollment, which extends through the first 5 days of class (the first 3 days of class in summer). No course section permits are required during the open enrollment times except for MATH 395, MATH 160, and both undergraduate and graduate Topics courses. If you are trying to add one of these courses, the mathematics staff can direct you to the appropriate secretary.
   1. The current math portion of the Class Directory is posted across from the Math Office in 138 Cardwell Hall. Check there or on-line at http://courses.k-state.edu/ to see if the section you want is being offered. If there is no instructor's name next to a section, or if "staff" or "Louis Pigno" is next to a section, that section is either NOT being offered or the instructor has not been assigned yet.

   2. You may check the university's web page http://courses.k-state.edu/ or here in the Math Department to see if your section has opened. Please do not check with us more frequently than every 20 minutes. (The numbers change too fast to make it worth your while.)

   3. If you have not been able to add the section you want, you may continue to check each day at your convenience. During Open Enrollment, as soon as the course opens, you may add via KATS or go to Enrollment Services and add it.

2. University Wait Lists
   1. The University wait list will auto enroll as openings occur starting the Fall 2008 semester.
   2. If you are on a wait list you will not be able to enroll in another section.
   3. Determine how far down the wait list you are.
   4. Should you remove yourself from one wait list to another you will be added to the last spot in that wait list.
   5. You may also choose to remove yourself from a wait list in order to enroll in an open section with zero students waiting.
   6. instructor permission is required to enroll in sections after the 5th day of class.
   7. instructor permission is also required to over-ride the optimum capacity of the course.

3. University Tuition and Fee Policies — Watch your refund deadlines — To avoid a late fees: Make sure you are enrolled in at least one course before classes begin. A Change from one section to another is considered to be a drop and an add by the Enrollment Services office. Therefore, the university refund policy will apply and any course added will be charged full fees. For summer courses the refund periods are prorated.
   1. Up to the 21st calendar day from the 1st day of class, there is a 100% refund for a section that is dropped and the regular fee is charged for a section that is added. Therefore the student pays no additional fees to drop one section and add another.
   2. Up to the 28th calendar day, there is a 50% refund for a section that is dropped and the regular fee is charged for a section that is added. Therefore the student will have to pay 50% more to drop one section and add another section of the same course.
   3. After the 28th day there is NO refund for a section that is dropped and the regular fee is charged for a section that is added. Therefore the student will have to pay double for switching to another section in the same course.

   The 25th day of classes is the last day to drop a course without receiving a W on your transcript. The final day to drop a full semester course is near the end of the 10th week of classes (For Summer - end of the 5th week).

4. Helpful Hints on Getting In
   1. Attend the section you wish to add, do the work and talk to the instructor and let them know you are trying to add their section.
   2. Pick a different section if the instructor does not want to add any more students.
   3. If you are enrolled in a different section that you are planning to drop, inform that instructor what you are doing, so that instructor does not drop you for not showing up.
   4. Keep attending and trying to add during Open Enrollment. After Open Enrollment instructors will use their discretion to decide whether they will allow a student in their class. Instructors are not obligated to allow students in their classes.
   5. Turn in your homework to the instructor whose section you are attending. Be sure your name, ID number, course name and section number are on your homework.

Note: Do NOT jump around between sections--pick one and go to it, otherwise your attendance record and homework may be lost and your final grade may be affected.
