Waitlists are created during registration once a course fills to the established capacity. Only students who meet the prerequisites of the course may add themselves to the waitlist. Students are taken off the waitlist, added to the class, and contacted by the Registrar’s Office in a priority order determined by the Registrar’s Office using the following guidelines:
- Major and Minor courses: Students are taken off the waitlist in class year order with majors and minors given priority.
- General Education courses: Students are taken off the waitlist in class year order with those who have not completed that requirement given priority.
- Elective courses: Students are taken off the waitlist in class year order on a first-come-first-served basis.
It is up to the individual faculty member to accept extra students into their class. These requests will be processed provided there are enough seats in the assigned classroom to accommodate the extra students.
