Scott Heffner - Political Science

American Government and Politics (Online - Distance Learning)

 

This course almost ALWAYS fills before the first day of classes - once the quarter (or summer sessions) begins and if the class is filled to its maximum, NO ADDS, even if on Wait List **  

Enrolled students may not log in (Catalyst will not be active) until the first day of classes; if by chance this changes, the instructor will notify you via email.

 WHEN OFFERED : Generally,  two sections of Poli 01 online are scheduled for fall, winter, spring quarters as well as the summer session.   NOTE: Winter 2010, only one section will be offered.


** Wait Listed Students:

When enrolled students drop BEFORE final rosters are printed (Wednesday before classes begin), wait listed students automatically move into enrolled seats - an email is sent to the enrolled student letting them know of their "new" status and to pay their fees within five days if they want to officially maintain their enrolled status.

To view/monitor what the current enrollment looks like for the upcoming quarter/session, and/or registration info, please go to: https://registration.fhda.edu/prod/web/default.jsp

ADDS: If the class is currently full and you are not on the Wait List, getting on the Wait List (through the registration process) will be the only chance of getting in. Again, once classes begin and if the class is full, no adds, even if on the Wait List.   

WHY?  If you still want more insight as to how I make this decision, consider the following:  Many fully online courses have a cap (maximum) of 35-40 students, my cap is 50, thus, when this class fills I'm already over what the "norm" is for this type of online course and thus, do not add on top of what is already a higher number of students to begin with.  While the College may show "seats open" after the quarter begins, keep the above in mind as likely, my answer will be no.  One exception to the above, would be where a student who took the class with me before and did not pass.
