FOR STUDENTS Office of the Registrar Waitlisting Tutorial

What is Waitlisting? Waitlisting is a Web self-service feature that provides students the ability to sign up on a list to wait for an open seat in a class that is full. Waitlisting will be available to students until 10 p.m. on the evening prior to the start of the semester. Waitlisting provides many advantages to students, instructors and administrators: Convenient for students by sending an notification when a seat becomes available and registration can be done online. Seats will be offered on a first- come, first-served basis. Helpful to instructors by eliminating the need to manually sign students into a full class before the first day of class. Useful for administrators by allowing them to track the demand for certain courses and better manage curriculum offerings.
