The Backpage team couldn’t help but notice that a lot of people weren’t getting into the classes they wanted during pre-registration. Lucky for you, we’ve combed through the online Search for Classes feature to find some courses that still have room for the fall 2011 semester. This should help, in case your Stoner Studies individually-planned major doesn’t get approved.
