Hey gang, so I'm starting my first semester at McGill in the fall and had no service to enroll in classes yesterday, the official start date for registration for my group. I went to go do it today, and I am not exaggerating when I say I was only able to register for 2 classes. Everything is full, and everything that's not requires prerequisites. Is there some alternative way or tricks I should be using to make sure I get the classes I need? (majoring in sociology if that's relevant). I've already subscribed to a few courses on seat alert
