Wait Lists for Department Enrollers
Assist students with enrollment in full classes.
Department enrollers support students who wish to join a wait list for a class that has reached enrollment capacity. A wait list allows eligible students to hold a place in line for potential enrollment if seats become available.
Department enrollers should:
- Help students understand wait list procedures, eligibility requirements, and enrollment restrictions.
- Verify that students meet course prerequisites and other enrollment criteria.
- Monitor wait lists and enrollment activity as directed by departmental or college policies.
- Assist with enrollment transactions when administrative action is required.
- Communicate with students, instructors, and departmental staff regarding enrollment options and availability.
Important:
- A wait list does not guarantee enrollment. Students must remain eligible and resolve any holds, prerequisite deficiencies, schedule conflicts, or other enrollment issues.
- Students should consider alternative course options while remaining on a wait list.
- Department enrollers should refer complex enrollment situations to the appropriate academic unit when needed.
