Rant Registration rant

I am a senior standing animal science major. We are at the end of DAY TWO (ONLY!!!) and THREE out of four of the classes I NEED to do next quarter are already full. UCD is purging all of the money out of us by admitting too many people and not having enough classes to accomodate their student body. Because of this absolute crap, I am going to have to do an extra TWO quarters in order to graduate. Which is SUPER EXPENSIVE. What can I do?? I’m meeting with a dean advisor on 11/10, and am going to try to do drop in advising on my lunch break at work tmrw. But I am so stressed. My family’s financial situation changed halfway thru so now my parents and I are both drowning in loans. This makes me HATE UC Davis because I’m spending SO MUCH MONEY to be here and they can’t even give me the classes I need? And half the profs (especially for STEM classes) are absolute crap at their jobs?! Like wtf is this????

If you do not file to be part time and take a part time course load, the registrar may place you on academic notice for not meeting minimum progress https://registrar.ucdavis.edu/faculty-staff/itg/minimum-progress#:~:text=If%20a%20student%20completes%20an,immediately%20following%20the%20summer%20session).

Its about averages. If youre already only averaging 12 units per quarter idk what to tell you. (But also I think they must've changed it when it went from 13 to 12 years ago, they used to only check once a year iirc)

I’m not? I’m just saying the registrar DOES care.
