Waiting Lists for Courses

Waiting Lists for Courses

A student may elect to add his/her name to the waiting list (if available) for a course if the course is full. He/she should attend the first session of the course and following sessions if there appears to be a chance that vacancies may occur.

Registered students must be present in class the first meeting of the class. If the class is full, they may lose their place to people on the waiting list who are present at the first class meeting.

Instructors may participate in the selection of students from the waiting list if appropriate; i.e., selecting majors before non-majors, juniors and seniors before sophomores and freshman. The Registrar’s Office monitors the wait lists and adds students, in the order they were waitlisted for the course, as space/seats become available. In addition, instructors may contact the Registrar’s Office with direction to add students to the course off the wait list.

Unless otherwise specified by the department/school, a maximum of five students will be allowed on a waiting list.

There are waiting lists for all quad and full semester classes unless otherwise specified by the respective academic department/school.
