Students interested in enrolling should place themselves on the waitlist for this course. There is an enrollment limit of 0 so that we can prioritize our majors and minors getting into this course. If you have not declared your major or minor, reach out to Jennifer Stern (jstern@brandeis.edu) to express your interest in enrolling but we cannot guarantee your enrollment. Please do not contact the faculty member teaching the course about enrolling as the administrative staff is enrolling students throughout early registration. Once early registration ends, non fine arts students will be enrolled based on the waitlist order. Additional questions? Reach out to Jennifer Stern.
