What is the purpose of no wait lists?

Seriously I could actually almost cry right now, I've checked the registration system every day repeatedly for the past two weeks waiting for empty seats from drops in upper div crim courses

Today im studying for finals and had to work I come home and see in my email that there was spots in two classes earlier today, and they are now gone. Im so frustrated, I have -1- class and I was hoping to take 5.

What purpose is there to no wait lists, I also dont understand why people who arent crim majors can take Forensic Sciences and prevent people in the program from taking it

    as a last resort, you could try contacting the prof. worth a shot. *shrug*

    shouldn't majors get priorities?

    well in crim you cant take 300 and 400 without declaring a major in crim (which ive done), except that forensic sciences class and i think one other

    the part that is stressing me out right now is i have a private scholarship and i NEED to be taking a certain amount of classes and i need confirmation of the fact im taking a certain amount of classes before classes start--the way my credits are i cant take anymore 100 and 200 level classes otherwise they dont count to my 120 credits for graduation, theyd be wasting money and time for me taking them

    and all im hearing from the crim department is, is i need to be checking to see if anyone drops from any classes on go.sfu, or wait until the first few weeks of class

    i dont know what to do at this point, ive only been able to enroll in one class i need, im waiting to hear back from advisors in other department now that the open enrollment has begun
