Wait List Frequently Asked Questions

                    Anyone who has a valid email address on file may waitlist.  This is important

                    since this is how  we notify students when they get enrolled if space becomes

                    available.  You must also meet the prerequisites and not be registered for another

                    section of the same class.  You may waitlist if you have a time conflict or overload

                    but you will not be moved into the class unless this conflict is removed. 

                     Waitlists will be set on all Winter and Spring 2008 classes with the exception of

                     classes that are crosslisted and classes requiring Instructor permission

                     (i.e. Nursing, Fire Science, Police Academy, etc.)

                     With waitlists you have a strong possibility of getting enrolled eventually.  This

                     means  charged fees and a grade if you don't show but never drop yourself.  Like

                     drops it is a students responsibility to drop a waitlisted class they no longer wish

                     to take.  Dropping a waitlisted class is easily done through "Manage my Wait List."

                     Eligible waitlisted students will automatically be enrolled into the class as seats

                     become available.  This will occur throughout the registration period as other 

                     students drop the class.   Once class starts a student must come to class if they

                     are on a waitlist and still wish to be added to a class.   Students forfeit their waitlist

                     position who do not show up to class.

                     After the class begins, you will not be added to a course automatically even if

                     vacancies exist.  Once a FACE-TO-FACE Class has started, you must

                     attend the first class session to see if you can be added.  Priority will be given to

                     students on the waitlist.   If you are waitlisted for an ONLINE COURSE, you must

                     email the instructor within 24 hours of the start of the class stating you still wish

                     to add.  Once again Priority will be given to students on the waitlist.  If the request

                     is granted, the online instructor will send you an email authorization to add.

                     You must either bring this to Admissions with an Add card if you are local or

                     follow the directions to email the Registrar to get added if you are not able to do

                     this in person.  You will receive an email when complete.

                     Always check "MY SCHEDULE" online to confirm any Adds or Drops.                

                     As soon as you are notified of enrollment you can make payment.  Fees become

                     late as of the end of the second week of school.  You will not be dropped if you fail

                     to pay or attend class.

                     Yes.  You will not be added to the waitlist if you do not meet prerequisite

                     requirements.

                     No.  You can add yourself to the waitlist even if you already have a class that meets

                     at the same time.  However, if a seat opens-up for the waitlisted class, you will

                     NOT be enrolled until you drop the class that conflicts.

                     No, but the next waitlisted student will get enrolled until your time conflict is

                     resolved.  We do not notify you when this occurs so check your Waitlist Status

                     under "Manage My Waitlist" frequently if you are Waitlisted for a class.

                      No

                      No.  No registration activity is possible with a hold.

                      You can add yourself to waitlists, but you will not be automatically added to

                       reopened courses if you it puts you over the 21 unit maximum.  You will have to

                      drop enough units to accommodate the waitlisted class or bring.  Or you can try to

                      add courses after the semester begins, and give Admissions an Excess Unit

                      Petition from the counseling office.

                     No.  Due to the complexity of how these courses get automatically enrolled we are

                     not offering waitlist ability for these classes.

                      No.  If you need to repeat a class, you will need to get a repeat form signed by a

                      counselor and bring it to Admissions to be added on the waitlist.  You will still

                      not be moved into the class from the waitlist but will have waitlist priority when

                      classes begin and you wish to add.  Make sure to attend the first class.

                     Once enrolled you can change units with Admissions and Records or by calling

                     TeleReg @ 895-5060 from 11-1.
