Frequently Asked Questions – Dr. Covitt’s classes
Most of your questions can and should be answered by Admissions or the bookstore.
1. Your class is full. How can I add your class now?
I cannot add you to the roster. I cannot keep a waiting list.
I understand that classes fill up early.
All of you have “special” situations. However, I cannot make any special arrangements for anyone.
Check with Admissions daily to see if someone has dropped the class before the semester begins.
I may be able to add a few students at the first class session.
This will be done by lottery among those who attend the first class.

There are older versions of these texts that are acceptable. The international version is fine.
If you have a text by another author, check with me about that.
If you order a textbook online, be aware that delivery dates may be well after the start of class. You are responsible for a having a text when the semester begins.
3. Can I miss the first day of class?
If you have an extremely important conflict, let me know, and get my approval. Make sure that I have
