Crash Policy

Classics Department Policy for “Crashing” Classes

Classes that are full will be closed the day before classes begin (or sooner)

Students trying to get into full classes with discussion sections should: attend lecture, attend ONE discussion section, and let the TA know they want to add the class.
Students trying to get into full classes without discussion sections should: attend lecture, and let the instructor know they want to add the class.
Students will be added from waiting lists in this order: Classics majors, Classics minors, then by class standing

Please do NOT contact instructors, TAs, or office staff trying to get an add code; instead, follow the procedures above About the Major section.
