Please note that course registration is binding. The moment your registration is received, it is regarded as a clear commitment on your part. Students cannot transfer to another course (once the add/drop period is over) with no exceptions, as it would be unfair to other students (who might not have received an acceptance for the course of their choice because of the spot you have registered for). The number of students accepted to the course will only be expanded if there is no space in any other course.
