Waitlist Explained

The waitlist period is conducted entirely through email and WebAdvisor. Notices of available spaces will be sent to your MYMAIL account, and you will be able to accept these spaces using the "Manage My Waitlists" feature on WebAdvisor. Notices will be sent out automatically at 12:01am each business day during the waitlist period; you will have 24 hours (until 12:01am one day later) to register for the class.

If you are on a waitlist, you should check your MYMAIL every day. If you receive an email telling you that you have been offered a space in a class, log on to WebAdvisor before the expiration date/time stated in the email. To claim your seat in the class, select "Manage My Waitlists" from the main menu page. You will see that the "Status" column next to the class in question states "Permission to Register". To enroll in the class, choose "Register" from the drop-down box in the "Action" column next to the class, and click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page. You will be taken to a Registration Results screen if your attempt was successful. BE SURE TO CHECK THIS SCREEN! If for any reason you are not eligible to take the class (e.g. too many credits, conflicts with another course, you haven't completed the pre-requisite, etc.), you will not be enrolled. If you need to drop classes in order to accept your space in a waitlisted class, you can do so at the same time that you add the waitlisted class. Your complete current schedule is at the bottom of the waitlist page; place checkmarks in the "Drop" column next to classes you wish to remove from your schedule. If for any reason you are unable to add the waitlisted class, the entire transaction will fail and you will not be added or dropped from classes.

If you have completed less than 30 credits or are on academic probation, click this link for STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS. If you have completed 30 credits or more and are not on academic probation, click this link for STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS.

NOTE: If you have not met the pre-requisite but you think that you have special circumstances that will allow you to take the class regardless of pre-requisite completion, you will not be able to resolve this using WebAdvisor. You must come to the Advising and Registration Center during normal business hours to try and resolve your issue before your waitlist eligibility time expires.

If for any reason you fail to add the course during the 24-hour period in which you are eligible, you will be dropped from the waitlist. A dropped student must re-add the class on WebAdvisor to obtain a new place on the waitlist. You do not regain your former place on the waitlist; instead you drop to the bottom of the list.
