If you are wanting to add or "petition" any closed sections of English 100 (traditional or hybrid), you will need to bring some prerequisite verification on the first day of class. Only students with this prerequisite information will be considered for class enrollment. You must bring one of the following forms of evidence in writing: you passed English 60 (or ESL 186, which is the equivalent to English 60) verified by: you scored high enough on the English placement test (obtained from a counselor) written approval from a counselor at Fullerton College who has reviewed your transcripts or used other multiple measures for placement in English 100
Any of a combination of these documents will be sufficient to admit you into the class. | To petition English 103 or English 201, you need prerequisite verification that you passed English 100 with a grade of C or better. Presently these courses are still open and do not require an add code until after the first class session on January 14. Go to WebStar to enroll. |
A word of caution:
This prerequisite verification does not guarantee you a seat in the class. Since admissions and records does not generate a wait list, the first night of class, I will hold a lottery during which petitioners will be assigned a wait list priority number. I will fill as many seats as possible the first night of class with people who are adding. Maximum class enrollment is 27 for English 100; 25 for English 103; 25 for English 104; 27 for English 201. Any no-show students have 24 hours during which to contact me. If I still have seats available after that 24-hour period, I will email you an authorization code for the appropriate CRN. Hence, it is necessary for you to show up the first class so that you may sign in. This is the only fair and equitable way I know to add petitioning students. Registration Tip:
Another strategy you can do between now and the first week of the semester is to regularly login to WebStar and try to add the class. Because students are continually adding and dropping, seats always open up, and if you are lucky you can grab one. So, check the class CRN 2-3 times a day--or even hourly: be vigilant. Students in the past have been successful at getting into the course that way once the section closes. In the meantime, if you have not done so, please visit the appropriate course website at (online hybrid: www.wiredprof.com/100h), (English 201: www.wiredprof.com/201), (English 103: www.wiredprof.com/103) or (English 104: www.wiredprof.com/104) and read through--in particular--the online course syllabus and the FAQs page. If you are not too familiar with how the World Wide Web works or not very computer literate, you'll need to make some decisions about whether this is the right course for you since all of my courses involve being comfortable using digital media (especially the online hybrid course).
Please feel free to email me if you have any other questions about the course.
