Design
The Department of Design currently does not hold any non-major seats open at the beginning of registration. However, a select number of Design courses are open to non-majors if seats are available. Non-majors can use the University waitlist and will be admitted based upon availability between the 1st and 4th class day. Below are the courses that non-majors will be able to waitlist.

The Department of Design is also offering some classes with open seats on a limited basis. The courses below will have a portion of their seats open to all majors. Once those seats are filled, non-majors will join the waitlist as per usual.
- DES 308: Introduction to Design Theory and Criticism – wb (21670)
Many Design classes will also have a cross list with the Center for Integrated Design (ITD). These cross lists are not major restricted, so any student is able to enroll on a first come first serve basis. Below are the ITD sections of Design courses that will have open and available seats this semester

Arts and Entertainment Technologies
The Department of Arts and Entertainment Technologies reserves 2 non-major seats in most classes. To enroll, submit a non-major form and add a screen shot of the instructor’s permission to enroll in the course. Permission DOES NOT guarantee a seat in the class.
Forms are processed every few days in the order in which they were received. If there is a current open spot in the course’s non-major seats then you will receive an email; if not, you will be placed on a waitlist. On the fourth class day, everyone on the waitlist will be contacted and notified whether or not there is a seat in the class for them.
This form is not checked after the 4th class day. Late add requests must be approved by the instructor and then sent to olivia.wildman@austin.utexas.edu for registration assistance.
