Registration Waitlist

• Waitlist is based on a first-come, first-serve basis. The first student who signs up for the waitlist is the first student who is eligible to register in the section once a seat becomes available.
• Once a seat becomes available, the student will receive an email sent to their Jaguar email account. It is the student’s responsibility to check his/her email.
• There is a 24 hour window of opportunity to register for a waitlisted course from the time the email is sent to the student. If a student misses the 24 hour window, the next student on the queue will be notified. The first student will lose his/her position on the waitlist.
• Being placed on a waitlist does not mean the student is registered for the section and it does not guarantee the student a seat.
• Waitlist is only available prior to the start of the term.
• Any registration holds will prevent a student from being added to a waitlist.
• Waitlist does not override co-requisites, prerequisites, links, time conflicts, and class restrictions such as major, department, level, instructor, or college. Students must meet the qualifications required to enroll in the class.
• Students can waitlist more than one course.
• Students can remove themselves from a waitlisted course.
• Students are not automatically added to a waitlist.
• If another section of the same course opens up, the student will not be notified, registered, or waitlisted for the new section. The student must continue to review the schedule for other section offerings.
• Waitlisted sections do not count toward a student’s enrolled hours. Financial aid eligibility and full-time status are determined by a student’s enrolled credit hours. Academic scholarships or other awards may not be applied to a student’s bill if the student is not enrolled in sufficient credit hours.
• Not all sections will have the waitlist option.
• When schedules are purged due to non-payment, all classes including those in a waitlist status will be deleted.
• Capacity override requests will not be processed for courses with waitlists.

Waitlist information is displayed in the columns “WL Cap” (Waitlist Capacity), “WL Act” (actual number of students on the waitlist), and “WL Rem” (number of available spots on the waitlist). If a seat opens up in the “Rem” (Remaining) column, only the student who receives the notification email may register for this course.

Registering for a waitlisted course is similar to registering for a class. On the Add or Drop Classes screen, type in the CRN of the class and click on Submit Changes. If the class is closed but has waitlisting, the student will receive a (1) Registration Add Error but will have the option of choosing (2) “Waitlist” in the Action drop down menu. Select (2) “WaitList” and click on (3) Submit Changes. The schedule will now display the class status as (4) “Waitlist on (Date)”. Note that (5) 0 credit hours indicate that the student has not been billed for these credits yet.

When a seat becomes available, the student will receive an email sent to his/her Jaguar email account. It is important that the student check the email on a regular basis. The email will look similar to this:

From: Registrar’s Office
To: Student Name
Subject: Waitlist Notification for (CRN)
