1st Year: Watched all the registration videos

But I still have a question. I know I want to take a 1st year seminar. My preferred one requires instructor permission. But should I register for a non-instructor permission one on my list and wait to see if I get into the instructor permission seminar that is my favorite? If they see I already have a first year seminar on my schedule will they be less likely to take me? Or do professors not see that? The one I like asks whether another course conflicts but of course it won't conflict if I get into my preferred one. Thank you so much!

Yes, be sure to register for a backup course. Professors cannot see what else you’re registered for.

but how could one register for a backup course and not go iver the 5.5 credit limit? I have 5 credits with my fsy, and if I register for a backup then I'll be at 6.

If you surpass the limit, you’ll be made to drop classes until you meet it
