What is the waitlist and how does it work?

During the pre-registration period (before classes begin), if a class is full you can add yourself to the waitlist, which is a list of student waiting to add the class. If an enrolled student drops the course from their schedule, you will be moved into the class based on your number on the list.  Waitlists are eliminated the day before classes begin so if you have not been placed in the class at this point, you must find another section/course to take. If you still want to attempt to take the class, you must get the teacher's approval on an Add form no later than the Add deadline and bring it to your Academic Advisor for enrollment. You do not need a teacher's signature to add a class that is open. You will not be moved from the waitlist into the requested class/section for the following reasons:

-You are already registered for another section of that class
-You have a hold on your account
-This class has a time conflict with another class on your schedule
-You are not registered for any other classes
-You have not met the prerequisites for this class
-This class will give you an overload for the semester/term (more than 18 credits in a semester or over 9 in a term)
-This class requires the instructor's permission or other requirements
