Class crashing policy should prioritize early birds

Almost all college students will find themselves needing a class that’s closed. That’s where crashing comes in handy. It’s not that sitting through an entire class until your number is called while other possible sessions are filling up isn’t entertaining, but there must be a better way to conduct the process of enrolling a student that’s not on the roster the first day.

Currently, there are multiple methods professors use to allow crashing students into their classes. Since there isn’t a uniform “crashing process” followed by all teachers, certain methods, such as giving preferential treatment to previous students over others, gives an unfair advantage to certain students.

There needs to be a uniform policy for crashing a class that all teachers need to consistently follow. There cannot be exceptions to the rule or the system becomes biased.
