FOR FACULTY 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.

Waitlisting Advantages for Faculty Instructors of courses using the Waitlisting feature MAY NOT sign students into full classes before the first day of the semester, but should instead refer students to go online to get on the waitlist. If an instructor grants an override to a student for a class that is full and has a waitlist, the instructor is implicitly granting the Office of the Registrar permission to increase the class size by one.  For Office of the Registrar processing, if a student self-identifies that he/she received a waitlist notification that a seat was available but could not register because the class is full, the Office of the Registrar will verify that a waitlist notification was sent and check if an override was recently given. If both are validated, the student will be registered for the course. Instructors will be able to view their class lists and the associated waitlists through the myUT Portal.
