ProTips for Waitlist

Please keep in mind that having a position on waitlist does not guarantee you will have a seat in a class. A seat will only be available if someone drops their seat before the end of add/drop Sunday, January 28.

We would recommend you check the position you have on the waitlist; this post shows you how https://www.instagram.com/p/CzmVdqlAudy/

If you are in position one, you have a better chance than if you are in position five. You can also speak with your advisor about alternative classes you can take.

Ensure you have no holds that prevent registration on your account, if you do, you won't be able to register if you get the notification a seat is open. 

Timeline for Spring 2024

The window to register for a waitlist class will reduce from 24 hours to 12 hours on Monday, January 22, 2024.  If you are on a waitlist for any classes in the Spring 2024 term, please be sure to check your IC email for a notification.  If you miss your registration window the seat will be passed along to the next student on the list and you will not be able to re-join the waitlist.

As of Wednesday, January 24, at 8:00 am, students will no longer be able to join a waitlist for a course that is full to capacity. (Reminder: there is no option for a capacity override in IC workflow.)

Students already on a waitlist will keep their waitlist position and receive notifications for open seats if they become available. (Reminder: look for alternate classes.)

Waitlist closes at the end of add/drop Sunday, January 28, at 11:59 pm.
