Watch this short video to learn how to add waitlisted sections to your plan: https://youtu.be/IoEYWX1fjVk
What the waitlist is and why it exists:
The academic department that teaches a course determines whether or not there is a waitlist for a particular course. There is no guarantee courses will have a waitlist.
A waitlist is a list of students who have signed up for the opportunity to be able to register in a full class. It affords students equal opportunity to sign up on the waitlist for the possibility of gaining entrance into a full course.
How the waitlist works:
Waitlist priority is based first on class level (seniors receive priority over juniors, juniors receive priority over sophomores, etc.), second on if the course is required for the student's current degree plan, and lastly by order in which students selected the waitlist option.
If a space becomes available in a course section that has a waitlist implemented, the first student on the waitlist will be notified via their TWU e-mail. E-mail notifications of approval to register are sent around 10:00 a.m. You will have until 10:00 a.m. the following morning to register for the course. *It is your responsibility to check your TWU e-mail.
If you miss your permission period to register for a waitlisted course, your permission expires and the opportunity to register will pass to the next student on the waitlist. If your permission expires you may again add yourself to the waitlist but will be at the bottom of the list.
Helpful information:
- Students are strongly urged to check their TWU e-mail frequently.
- Students can manage their waitlisted courses through Student Self-Service.
- Waitlisted courses do not count as registered courses.
- Co-requisite courses may not be registered for individually. If you are waitlisted for one-half of a co-requisite pair, you must wait until you have permission to register for the waitlisted course to complete your registration.
- Students who want to register for a closed class section are urged to register for another section to avoid being shut out of the course entirely, particularly if one’s financial aid award is dependent upon full-time enrollment.
