What
is the Online Wait List?
The Online WaitList system will allow students
to place themselves on a WaitList for a closed section
while they are registering online. They may do this
through the third day of drop/add. |
Is
there a fee associated with Online Wait List classes?
If you have been placed
on a wait list during regular registration and are
moved into the course during add/drop week, there
are no extra fees assessed. |
How
do I access Online WaitLists?
While registering on the web, you will have automatic
access to the Online WaitList system, if the course
and section for which you are registering is closed
and a WaitList is available.
Simply go to the Action drop down menu and choose
Waitlist to be added to the list. Click Submit changes.
Most departments offer
wait list courses. |
How
will I know if a class/section will have an online
waitlist?
The registration
system will display the message, "CLOSED - Waitlisted
-00#" if a section is closed and offers a waitlist.
The number displayed indicates the number of students
already on the list for this course. |
Am I eligible to put myself on any WaitList?
No. The registration system will
check your eligibility to get on a WaitList just as
it checks your eligibility to get into an open course.
You must have met the pre-requisite requirements and
any other rules placed on the course by a department
before you can get on a WaitList for a particular
course. |
Can I call the
department to add me to an Online WaitList?
No. Online WaitLists are only accessible
when you attempt to register for a closed class and
a waitlist is available. |
What
is the last day to get on a WaitList?
The
third day of drop/add. |
How
can I confirm I am on a WaitList?
In
Banner Self Service, under Registration, select Add/Drop/Withdrawal.
All classes that you have registered or waitlisted
for are displayed here. |
How
do I know my position on the Waitlist?
When
you are placed on a WaitList, the system will
tell you what number on the list you are. Once processing
begins, you will not be updated on movement in the
list. |
How
will I know if I have been moved off the WaitList
and added to the course?
It is your
responsibility to monitor your schedule. Check your
registration in Banner Self Service; choose Registration,
Add/Drop/Withdraw from classes--the action will have
changed from Waitlist to Registered if you were added
to the class. |
How
can I be removed from a WaitList?
There
are three ways to be removed from the WaitList: 1.
You may drop yourself off a WaitList using Banner
Self Service. An action is required on your part.
2. You are added to the course through normal WaitList
processing. No action is required on your part. 3.
You are purged from all lists at the end of drop/add.
No action is required on your part. |
Can
I register for another course if there is a time conflict
with a waitlisted course?
No. Being on the WaitList
holds that time block for your schedule so you can
be added to the course if a space becomes available.
|
Can
I register for another section of the waitlisted course?
You may place yourself
on the waitlist for multiple sections of the same
course. When one of the sections become available,
and you are registered for it, the others are dropped
from the waitlist. |
How
often is the WaitList processed?
Online
WaitLists will be processed nightly during registration
and drop/add. This process will move people automatically
from the WaitLists into open spaces in courses. |
When
will Online WaitList processing stop?
All Online WaitList processing
will stop on the last day of drop/add. You can be
placed into courses through 5:00 on the last day of
drop/add. However, if you have not been moved into
a class by the 4th day of drop/add, you should seriously
consider registering for a different one. |
How
long will I stay on a WaitList?
If
you are still on a WaitList at the end of drop/add
and you are not enrolled in the course you will be
purged from the waitlist. Once purged, the WaitListed
course will no longer appear on your fee slip. |
How
long will I stay on an Advanced Term (Fall) WaitList?
WaitLists for Fall courses
will be retained until the end of drop/add for regular
Fall registration. |
Does
the WaitList guarantee I will get into this course?
No. If you must be registered
for a certain number of hours, you should consider
other courses or sections of this course. |
Can
I list my preference for courses/sections?
No. You will be placed in the first
available section. Other waitlisted sections of the
same class will then be removed. |
Will
I be notified if I am added to a class from an Online
WaitList?
An email notification will be sent once you have been moved into a course. |
If
I am on a WaitList for a prerequisite course for the
Summer term, will I be able to use Advanced Fall registration
to enroll in the follow-up course?
No.
Being on a WaitList for a summer course does not guarantee
you will be able to get into the class, so, the registration
system will not allow you to advance register for
a Fall course requiring the pre-requisite. |
Should
I attend a waitlisted class if I am still on the WaitList
during drop/add?
Generally
it is a good idea, but you should contact the instructor
for the course to see if he or she thinks you should
attend the course. |
Will
another section open when a large number of people
get on the WaitList?
Not
necessarily. Opening additional sections of classes
is dependent on the availability of resources, such
as faculty, space, and funds, as well as the demand
for the class. If a department has the available resources,
an additional section may be added. Check the course
schedule on the web for the most up-to-date listing
of courses. WaitList information will be collected
and utilized for future planning. |
