I am trying to sign up for a section, but it says I need a permission code to get in. Can I have a permission code?

Permission codes will never be given out to override the maximum number of students allowed in a section (24 students per section). Registration for a section is on a first come first serve basis. Here are your options to try to get into this section:

1) Keep watching the enrollment for your desired section FREQUENTLY. When the number of students in that section drops below 24, quickly sign up before someone else takes the spot. In my experience the enrollment number in each section still fluctuates until approximately 1 week after classes start, so there may be still plenty of opportunities for you to get into your section of choice.

2) Approximately one week after the start of classes the registrar requires a permission code to add a section, even if the enrollment falls below 24 students. When that time comes, I will give out permission codes to add students to sections IF the enrollment in a section drops below 24 students. These permission codes will be given out according to a WAITING LIST. You can get on that waiting list by sending an email to gernot@physics.utah.edu.

You must include in this email the following information: a) Your full name, b) Your student ID number, c) The class (2015, 2025, ......) you wish to add, d) The exact section number you wish to add e) the best wayI can contact you (email mandatory, phone optional). I will then add you to the waiting list. Once a spot becomes available in your desired section in the second week of classes, and when it is your turn on the waiting list, you will be notified by me through email, asked if you still wish to add the section, and given approximately 24 hours to respond. If I get no response, the opportunity to get a permission code will be passed on to the next person on the waiting list.

Please note that even if you are on the waiting list, you should still keep trying option 1). It is your best bet. You will PROBABLY get in that way. Do not despair too quickly.
