SStudent wants to register for a full section HHe/she may do one of two things GGo to the department or instructor for an Enrollment Limit override KKeep checking to see if a space has opened up in the section and then, be the first one to register for the open seat TTotally random

 An ARIES Registration Waitlist is an electronic list of students who are waiting to register for a full class—standing in line electronically rather than physically  Students may sign up for this when they attempt to register for a section that has reached its capacity  The first student on the waitlist is notified via their RAMmail account when a space becomes available  The student then has 24 hours to register for the class before being dropped from the waitlist  The student is not automatically registered

 Nothing! That’s the beauty of the ARIES Registration Waitlist!  Instructors and departments do not have to do anything with the waitlist  Everything is handled electronically from the student signing up, to the notification being sent, to the student registering for the section  Registration will stay the same for students, staff, and instructors

 Instructors and departments may still do whatever overrides they choose to do  They may still grant students an Enrollment Limit override, thereby consenting to an increase in the capacity of the section  An Enrollment Limit override supersedes the waitlist  It allows the student receiving the override to register for a full section regardless of the waitlist  Prerequisites and other restrictions are enforced for students signing up for the waitlist so there may be requests for overrides for these things even when the section is full

 A ‘Stop Enrollment’ entered on a section will not allow anyone to sign up for the waitlist or register for the class without an override  The department or instructor may always do an Enrollment Limit override to allow a student to register for a section  Seeing how many and which students are on a waitlist has the possibility of giving an indication of the demand for a course

Look what else is new for instructors!

 The ARIES Registration Waitlist will be available for registration for Summer 2010 and beyond  There will be an ARIES Registration Waitlist for all undergraduate, on-campus sections  The maximum number of students who may sign up for the waitlist of a section is 99  Faculty and staff will not be able to manipulate students’ positions on the waitlist  Instructors and departments will be able to see waitlists for prior terms, if needed, for verification or analysis

 An notification will be sent to the student  A text message may also be sent  The student will have 24 hours from the time the notification is sent to register for the section  If the first student on the waitlist fails to register for the section before their deadline, they will be dropped from the waitlist and the second person will receive a notification  This will continue until someone from the ARIES Registration Waitlist registers for the section

 Students are responsible to routinely check their and/or text messages  Students who miss the 24 hour deadline must re- register for the ARIES Registration Waitlist if they still wish to register for the course/section

 Information for students regarding their waitlisted classes will be available through RAMweb  They will be able to see all the classes for which they have signed up on a waitlist  They will be able to see their position on each waitlist  They will also be able to see any pending deadlines for sections for which they have the opportunity to register

 Students will now have the opportunity to ‘wait in line’ electronically for a space in a section—they will not have to depend on chance to get in a full section when a space becomes available  The ARIES Registration Waitlist requires no new action or intervention on the part of faculty or staff  Everything concerning registration will stay the same with the exception of the availability of the waitlist

 Students must meet the prerequisites and/or restrictions of the section before being allowed to sign up for the waitlist  The responsibility for the actions connected with the waitlist belongs to the students  The student will have 24 hours to register for the section from the time the space available notification is sent  There will be a waitlist capacity of 99 for all undergraduate, on-campus sections beginning Summer Session 2010
