  • Availability of Waitlists:
    • Waitlists are available for certain courses depending on the course type and capacity.
    • Not all courses will offer a waitlist option.
  • Activation of Waitlists:
    • A waitlist is activated when a course reaches its maximum enrollment based on the number of students, not room capacity.
    • The waitlist option will be available for one week during the Fall and Spring semesters, starting with the (add) period.
  • Enrollment in Waitlists:
    • Students may add themselves to the waitlist when a course reaches its maximum enrollment.
    • A student cannot be on a waitlist for more than one section with the same course code.
    • Students who no longer wish to be considered for an open space in a waitlisted course should remove it from the waitlist.
  • Notification Process:
    • When a seat becomes available, an email notification is sent to the first student on the waitlist.
    • The notified student has 24 hours to register for the available seat.
  • Action Requirement:
    • If the student does not register within the 24-hour period, the opportunity to enroll is offered to the next student on the waitlist.
    • A student who placed his/her name on a waitlist for enrollment services managed courses agreed to be registered in the section if space becomes available or if new section is opened at a time/day identical to that existing in waitlisted section.
  • Credit Load Consideration:
    • Courses for which students are waitlisted do not count towards their credit load until the students are officially registered.
       
  • Waitlisting Restriction:
    • The same standers of pre-requisite and time conflict checking will apply to waitlisted courses.
    • Students may be waitlisted for both a course and its lab if one or both components are full, and the waiting option is available for both courses.
    • Students must meet prerequisites or obtain permission to register for waitlisted courses.
  • No Guarantee of Enrollment:
    • There is no assurance that a seat will become available for students on the waitlist.
    • Students are responsible for enrolling in the class before the registration period ends.

9- Implement the waiting list:

  • The college scheduler is responsible for defining the waitlist within the room’s capacity if the course needs a waitlist.
  • The college has the right to view the list of students waiting in the specific section.
