    Default Class crashing?

    Who has done it? I might have to crash and beg the teacher of the pre-calc class and beg him to take me. I tried emailing him but the college listed email doesn't work. If he won't let me into his class I'll be crashing that last English class I need.

    So is there proper class crashing etiquette I should know of? At least so I don't look like an ass.

    I always emailed the teacher in case their was a waiting list. Other than that, make sure you get their early and get a seat. It's usually first come first serve. If you can find a way to speak with the teacher, let him/her know that it's the last one that you need. Sometimes that sways them. Oh, and bring one of those add cards with you and filled out for them to sign.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    I had to do this last semester. I felt awkward about them reading off the list of names for the first role or whatever so I'd get there early and explain to the teacher that I was hoping to sit in the class and see if there would be less people than expected, etc, but that Im not listed. It worked out for me.

    I went to a small school, so our procedure was you had to sign up online. Once that was full, there was a waiting list.

    But often, it was up to the teacher if he wanted to allow anyone else in the class past the allotted limit.

    In my school, I would not go during the class's allotted time. I would stalk out his office to talk with him, or immediately after another of hsi classes (a professor doesn't want a student crashing during that class...he will be more reluctant to let you in in front of a bunch of people, the reasoning being the'll tell friends who also want that class who will now badger him)

    Do not just tell him you need the class. A professor is unlikely to allow you in because you have to be there...that implies it's a burden, and you won't contribute. Explain to him how passionate you are about the coursework (do some background research, see if there's a syllabus available) pick out on or two sujects typically discussed in the class, and tell him how interested you are. Then you can mention how badly you need the class as well. If you look like someone who has already done the work and ar einterested, you will be an assett to the class, and be more likely to be accepted in.
