Question Any DSA students managed to do UPIP with DSA426X + another non-GEN/CFG course?

I might be doing UPIP next sem (AY26/27 S2) to fulfil my grad requirements, and am currently planning to do DSA426X along with it since it is a night class.

However, ideally, I would like to do another CS night mod to fulfil my 2nd major requirements. The workload of this mod also seems to be quite manageable/light based on reviews. Additionally, if I do not clear this CS mod next sem, I'll have to overload quite heavily in my final sem, which I'll most likely struggle with. Worst case, I'll have to drop the 2nd major.

Hence, I was wondering if any other DSA students managed to successfully get approval to read DSA426X + another mod while doing UPIP? If so, how did you appeal?

Or is it pretty much impossible to get a successful appeal to read DSA426X with a non-GEN/CFG mod while on UPIP? In that case, would it be more likely for me to get a successful appeal to read my CS night mod + another mod that I would otherwise clear in my final sem?

But if it's pretty much impossible to get an approval to read 2 mods on top of UPIP for DSA students, ig I'll just do the internship as non-credit bearing. Just that I think it might be hard to do a summer UPIP as the timeframe of spring internships tend to overlap with the 1st-2nd mth of summer internships.
