How Do Waiting Lists Work?

Due to heavy demand, some classes will close for the current term. A waiting list will then be opened by Regional and Continuing Education and maintained until the first class meeting. You may place your name on a waiting list without any obligation.

  • If space becomes available prior to the first day of class, we will offer available seats to students on the waiting list first. If we call or e-mail you to offer you a seat, you have two business days from the date of notification to complete your registration.
  • It is up to each student to provide the most reliable contact information. If you do not have a reliable message phone or trust your roommate will communicate a message, you may want to provide a cell phone and/or e-mail address.
  • All university debt and/or holds must be removed and test requirements must be met in order to register for classes. If you are not eligible to register, or you do not register within two business days, you will be dropped to the bottom of the waiting list and no longer considered as an active entry on the wait list.
  • Each instructor will be given the waiting list prior to the first class meeting, but is under no obligation to add students in the order of the list. If we haven't called and you still want to register, consider attending the first class meeting and request written permission directly from the instructor.
