But for the most part, most people don’t get the classes they want, because they fill up within seconds of registration opening.
The good news is that most classes have people that drop or new slots that open up. I wrote a Course Opening Notifier to text message you when a course you want gets an opening! You just enter the SLN of the course you want, your phone number, and your wireless carrier and this website will automatically text message you when it detects an opening. 
Privacy Note: Your phone number is stored in a database only accessible by this website. But it is encrypted, just in case. And once a notification is sent to you regarding a class, or a new quarter begins, your number is deleted. No spam is gonna be coming from this website!

Okay this program totally got me into Art 370, which I’ve been praying and hoping for since November… so THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
I can’t believe you don’t even charge money for these things… gosh, they should give you a Nobel prize or something, lol.

Mitch, you are amazing. You got me into my English class, and I’m crossing my fingers it’ll work again for Spanish. Thank you, this tool is incredible.

Mitch, oh no, your program has failed! I have tried to use it for 2 different classes that are closed, and in both cases your program says the classes aren’t actually closed. You should look into this, because I really want to use this.

Could you possibly update this for Spring registration? If you have time. Thanks, I really appreciate the work you’ve put into this.
