(2) Students with special requirements that need to select or drop the group course can contact the English department and apply for manual course selections according to the dates announced on the department website.

However during the manual course selections, if the course is already full, the number of students for each course is equally distributed and you may be assigned to the said course, there is no room for further reasoning.
