How long was that flight ICF?

 

[Barfo]

Most companies have policies to determine when to fly coach vs. business class. My last company said, IIRC, if any single leg of the flight was greater than 8 hours, you could fly business class. Otherwise, it was coach.

Of course, my flight to Milan was 9 hours and they made me fly coach. :| I did get business class to Korea and Brazil though.

That makes sense. We wouldn't fly farther than Peru AFAIK. I've never flown business class in my life though

From Honolulu to Minneapolis. I want to say it was 10 hours.

Can't prof do overrides for you?

A permission number will NOT override a closed class as of the Fall semester. You need to put yourself on the waitlist. An instructor can not give a student permission to get into a closed class.

New policy, they're trying to keep class sizes down to improve overall ranking, but they didn't open enough classes.

 

[MotF Bane]

Or department heads / secretaries?

Secretaries can do absolutely nothing. Department heads might be able to do something, but I'd be looking for approval from multiple department heads, none of which are mine - in fact, I have no department head, because I basically don't exist. Then with my transcript, most dept. heads wouldn't want me in their classes.

And they still aren't answering my email, it's been four hours. Fucking lazy bastards at that place.

Why do you do important / time sensitive stuff via email? Just show up at the correct office.

No wonder you wanted something over Coach... its around 8 from Southern Cal :thumbsup:

 

[MotF Bane]

Why do you do important / time sensitive stuff via email? Just show up at the correct office.

Because the school runs on two campuses, all of my classes are on one campus, the offices are on the other (because administration is happy there? I dunno why). If anything, the other campus has worse parking than mine, so essentially, you either go there at 8 AM, or about 3 PM. The only day I can go to the other campus at 3 PM is Friday of this week.

coffee, so delicious

All my campus has is classrooms, and individual science/math/technology/engineering/business departments.

The other campus gets all the administrative departments: financial aid, health, registrar, bursar, student services, et cetera, plus the lib arts departments.

So there are two open Calc 3 sections. One of them is at 11 AM, which technically works, although the teacher is reportedly horrendous, but depending on a chemistry section, might be a problem. The other is too late in the afternoon, and will interfere with work.

As for the chemistry though, there are two open sections. Both of them will interfere with a morning lab, and one of them will additionally interfere with another lecture.
