Waitlisting for Courses

You will be able to recognize courses as Waitlist eligible by the “WL” columns.
“WL Max” is the maximum number of seats on the Waitlist, while "WL REM” is the remaining number of seats available on the Waitlist.

Only certain courses as determined by that department will be eligible for Waitlisting.

An email will be sent to your Central email account, notifying you there is a space available. If you’ve forwarded your email, it will be forwarded to that email address.

You will have 24 hours to make a decision on whether or not to register for that course. If no action is taken 24 hours after the “sent” date/time of that email, you will be automatically dropped from the Waitlist and the next student in line on the Waitlist will be notified by email.
Remember to check your Central email account regularly!

You will have 24 hours after the “send” date/time of the email to make a decision on whether to add the course. If you do not register within that time frame, you will be automatically dropped from the waitlist. If you miss your registration deadline but still wish to register for the class, you may sign up for the Registration Waitlist again.

Yes, prerequisites and restrictions are checked before you are allowed to join a Waitlist. However, possible time conflicts with the desired course are not checked, to allow for Waitlist flexibility. (If you do get into a Waitlisted course, you will need to drop the other course where the time conflict exists.)

You may sign up for as many registration Waitlists as you choose. There is no limit. However, we strongly urge you to remove yourself from all Waitlists once your registration has been finalized so that others may have an opportunity to register for available courses in a timely manner.

No, you must drop yourself to be removed from any Registration Waitlist.

No, you may have only one Waitlist per given section of a course at a time (one Waitlist per given CRN or "Course Registration Number" at a time). If you are dropped from the Waitlist or drop yourself from the Waitlist, you may sign up for the Waitlist again.

No. Only courses you are actually registered in will show up on Blackboard.
