1) You can keep monitoring the\u00a0CUNY Schedule of Classes<\/a> website, waiting for someone to drop the course, at which point you should pounce on the opening and get the MA Director to register you for the class immediately.
2) You can ask the professor for an overtally. Feel free to contact the professor before the class begins to find out whether you can get an overtally, but be aware that most faculty wait for the first day of class before granting overtallies because they have to see how many registered students show up, how big the room is, etc. You may, however, get lucky and find someone willing to give you an overtally before the course begins or put you on a waiting list.<\/p>\nHow may I get permitted for an overtally?<\/h4>\n
