Waitlisting

Overview: How Waitlisting Works

  • If a class is closed, you may register yourself on the waitlist.
  • A student may only enroll in one waitlist class section per course title (ex. only one section of ENGL 1101).
  • A student will not be permitted to enroll on a waitlist if he/she is enrolled in another section of the same course.
  • A student will only be permitted to enroll on a waitlist if he/she meets the prerequisite/co-requisites for the course.
  • Waitlisting is not available for lecture/lab co-requisite sections.
  • If a seat becomes available in that section, the next student on the waitlist will be notified via their myUWG email.
  • Students will have 18 hours from the time the notification is sent, to register for the class or they will be dropped from the waitlist and the next student on the waitlist will have the opportunity to register.
  • Waitlist notifications will be sent out 24 hours a day, 7 days a week except when Self-Service Banner is down for internal processing. Please see the SCOOP for more details on dates.
  • If you are on a waitlist, please check your email twice a day (morning and evening). Be sure to check your spam folder too.
  • Waitlisting will be turned off to new additions prior to the first day of classes. Please view the SCOOP for specific dates.
  • All waitlists will be purged the week prior to the first day of class. Students will be removed from the waitlist the week prior to the first day of class.
  • Students may register for open seats during the remaining days of Drop/Add. Please view the SCOOP for specific dates.
  • Dual enrolled students are not permitted to waitlist classes.
  • Drop for Non-Payment applies to all classes including waitlist classes. While you do not owe tuition or fees for a waitlist course, if you are dropped for non-payment waitlist classes will be dropped.
  • The Schedule of Classes may show there is an open seat, but please note if there are students on the waitlist these seats are held for this student population.
