Update on school situation
Got it all worked out. The balance was because the site hadn't been changed yet and because I got into another course. That's okay. I wasn't happy with that explanation (since I live in a world where these sorts of things should be able to be updated instantly), but I can live with it.
The refusal from the course doesn't have as good an explanation. Apparently priority is given to Specialists, not Majors. Okay, that I can understand. What I can't understand is that basically they initially list the enrollment cap at 30 and then drop it down to 15 later, picking only 15 Specialists and telling everyone else, "tough luck". Because of that I'm going to be short half a credit on my Crime, Law and Deviance major. I'm first on the waitlist for another course that can replace it, but still. If I hadn't been smart enough to get on the waitlist as soon as I saw that I had been refused, I'd be screwed.
