1. I recall running into the same thing during first year. Higher years have priority in registering for courses (at least at U of C). I didn't register as soon as possible either so I ended up stuck with a brutal schedule.
2. Typically a spot or two will open up in a class during the early weeks of the semester. There is a two week window to swap or withdraw from courses without penalty. Some classes have waiting lists and other don't, so that complicates things.
3. For future years she will have priority over first year students and will have the benefit of knowing the ropes. It's best to register as soon as possible once it opens.
The software they use for this was garbage. Not sure if it is still in use but it is the most user unfriendly system I've every used. Nothing can be done about that though.
