Professors? I'm supposed to e-mail a professor and Ask to be over enrolled?
My adviser told me to e-mail a professor and ask them to over enroll me. I understand the concept, I just don't understand how to ask someone I don't know to do that. What do I say in the e-mail? I really truly do have an interest in the subject, it is a part of my major.( I don't know if it is the economy but I feel like I have to fight for every class.) What is the best way to e-mail the professor about over enrolling me? Any advise would be appreciated. (And no, I didn't wait for the last minute. I saw an adviser early and later he sent me an e-mail, stating that some things he suggested were incorrect and that I needed to correct them--by that time everything was full.)

You would say:
Dear Professor _______,
I am a ____ major, and your class (name of class) is one that I would like to take for my major. I asked my adviser about enrolling in your class, but he said that the class was full and that I would need to ask you for permission to enroll. I was wondering how I go about over-enrolling in the class. Do you need to authorize and enroll me yourself, or do I need a permission number to enroll myself?
I look forward to hearing back from you and seeing you in class.
Sincerely,
__________

Just send a polite and brief email. Professors are very busy, so they don't want to have to read your life story to get to the point. If you succinctly and respectfully ask to be over enrolled then if it is possible, they will probably do it. Make sure that you use proper spelling and grammar to show that you are serious.
