Where can I find information about course waitlists?
All About Waitlists -
Some full courses offer a waitlist option during registration. If so, you will either see a message inviting you to add yourself to the waitlist or the course status will read, "FULL COURSE WAITLIST OPEN- This course is full. A waitlist with (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) students is available."Waitlist Essentials
- Add Yourself to a Waitlist
- Remove Yourself From a Waitlist
- Wait-Listing Linked Courses
- How do I enroll in a class I wait-listed for and got into
- What should I do if I missed my 24-hour deadline
Important
- Being on a waitlist does not guarantee eventual enrollment in a course.
- Waitlist units do not count toward your max number of units allowed
- You will receive an email when you are being offered a seat off the waitlist. You will have only 24 hours to enroll in the course. If you do not enroll within the 24 hour timeframe you will be dropped from the waitlist and the seat will be automatically offered to the next student on the waitlist.
- Only waitlist yourself in one activity for linked courses. If a waitlist is available, it will either be on the lecture or on the smallest section of the linked course(s) only. For example, in a lecture/discussion pair, the waitlist will only be on the discussion since it is the smallest section. When you receive your space off the waitlist for the discussion, there should be an available seat in the lecture for you as well. You must register for all linked courses when you are registering for a class after having been on the waitlist.
-
What Does It Mean When the Seat Status Shows an (!...) Symbol and Has an Active Waitlist?
When you see an exclamation mark followed by three dots (…), it means the open seat is not available to the general public, and an invitation for enrollment has been sent to the next person on the active waitlist. The waitlisted student has 24 hours to respond to the enrollment notification. Failure to action, the waitlisted student will be dropped from the waitlist and a new notification will be automatically sent to the next person on the waitlist for that discussion section.
