Wait Lists
When a class reaches its enrollment capacity, a wait list provides a way for eligible students to join a queue for potential enrollment if a seat becomes available. Wait lists help manage course demand while giving students an opportunity to enroll in full classes as openings occur.
Whether you are a student, staff member, department scheduler, or department enroller, understanding how wait lists work is essential for supporting successful enrollment planning and academic progress. This page provides role-based information, guidance, and resources to help you navigate wait list processes, responsibilities, and best practices.
