How Waitlists Work

When a section reaches capacity, students can join the waitlist. Simply add the section to your plan and click the Waitlist button directly underneath the section. If a seat becomes available in the section, eligible students will be automatically enrolled and receive notification to their Cardinal Mail. Once enrolled, the student’s account will be billed. If the student has financial aid, their award package will be re-evaluated.

Courses with co-requisites (i.e. CHEM 101 and CHEM 101L, ENGL 101P and 114C, etc.) do not permit waitlisting.

Students can only waitlist one section of a course at a time. Students enrolled in more than one section of the same course will receive notification to their Cardinal Mail to take action. 

How to Waitlist

The section on your plan should show a warning stating This section has a waitlist.
