How to Waitlist a Class

Waitlist Overview

Some classes offer a waitlist, which allows students to get on a waiting list to register in a full/closed class if a seat becomes available. Some classes may display as open, but the available seats are reserved for students on the waitlist.

Students can waitlist a class if they would be eligible to register in the class (ex: prerequisites and restrictions must be met). Students can waitlist sections of a course that would result in a time conflict with another class on their schedule. If a student becomes eligible to register in a waitlisted class that is a duplicate of another section or would result in a time conflict, the student must adjust his or her schedule to remove duplicate sections and/or time conflicts.
