you might have better luck taking your problem to the professors directly. some (like barry) are very nice and helpful and they might be willing to send out an e-mail to the class list or something. I am almost certain there are no shortage of people from Burnaby who would like to trade with you to get into Barry's class.
Funny thing is though, all the Crim students got basically scolded in a mass e-mail by a crim advisor not to talk to the professors directly about course switching though haha.
