A Note on Waitlists
If you are waitlisted for a course, this means the class section has reached its maximum student capacity and cannot currently accept more enrollments. However, if enrolled students drop the course, students from the waitlist are enrolled (in the order in which they were waitlisted). You will have access to the Canvas shell for the course (if applicable) so that you may start participating in the coursework. Be sure to check the attendance policies in the syllabi for all of your courses. There are three possible outcomes when you are waitlisted:
- Enough students drop the course so that those on the waitlist can enroll.
- The instructor makes additional space to allow waitlisted students to enroll.
- If you do not get into the course from the waitlist by January 27th, you will be removed from the waitlist and from the course on that day. In this case, if the class is necessary for your current degree path, you should consider different enrollment options. You can check for different sections of the same course or search for a different course altogether.
