If there are remaining seats two weeks after registration opens, then the POD will be lifted so that anyone with the prerequisite can register. If you are a film studies minor who wishes to take the course, email Dina to get on the waiting list for POD once film studies minor priority registration opens up. The same procedure will be followed for Directing for Cinema, which has a prereq of FILM 4680 and POD.
