Will wait listed classes appear in Course Search & Enroll?

If a class is closed and the department is using the wait list functionality, class sections will be represented with a yellow triangle within Course Search & Enroll.

Why am I unable to place myself on the wait list?

An error message will inform you of the problem. Some possible reasons:

- Instructor or Department Consent is required to enroll for the class
- The wait list capacity has been reached for the class section

- You have reached the maximum term credit limit

Will I be able to see my position on the wait list?
|
|---|
No, you will receive a message confirming that you have been placed on the wait, but it will not reveal your wait list position number.
The course will now appear under the Wait list in the My Courses tab.

|
|
How long before a department notifies me whether I'll be able to enroll for this class or not?
|
|---|
|
The length of time it may take for a department to determine who will be allowed to enroll will vary by department. Please contact the department directly for further information.
|
|
|
How will I know when I can enroll for a class that I am on the wait list for?
|
|---|
Once a department determines that you will be allowed to enroll for the section, you will receive an email notifying you of this and how long your permission will be valid. To enroll for the class from the wait list, go to your list of waitlisted courses in Course Search & Enroll and continue through the enrollment process to finalize your enrollment.
Note: Receiving permission does not enroll you in the waitlisted course, you will still have to enroll yourself!
|
|
|
Can I place myself on the wait list for more than one section of the same class?
|
|---|
|
You can be on multiple wait lists for the same class, up to the wait list maximum, as long as they are considered different enrollment packages. For example, if a class has two different lectures and each lecture has discussion sections associated with it, you could be on the wait list for LEC 001 and DIS 301 while also on the wait list for LEC 002 DIS 315. You could not, however, be on the wait list for two different discussions associated with LEC 001.
|
|
|
Will I remain on the wait last after I have enrolled for the class?
|
|---|
|
No, you will be removed from the wait list once you are enrolled for the class.
|
|
|
Can I see other students placed on the wait list for a class section?
|
|---|
|
No, you can only confirm whether you are on the wait list.
|
|
|
Do all classes have a wait list?
|
|---|
|
No, not all classes will have a wait list. It will be up to a department as to whether a wait list will be maintained. Once a class closes, you will see a yellow triangle throughout the enrollment process indicating that wait list is available for that section.
|
|
|
Can I wait list for a class that has a time conflict with another class?
|
|---|
|
Yes, you are allowed to wait list for a class that may have a time conflict.
|
|
|
I want to remove a wait listed class from my schedule. What do I do?
|
|---|
|
Use the Drop function within Course Search & Enroll.
|
|
|
The class is wait listed but there are available seats. Why can't I enroll?
|
|---|
Once the class availability is listed as "Wait list seats available", you can only enroll into the wait list.
While it's possible to see indication of available seats, that number is related to the department's enrollment management.
