Wait lists and changing courses
If a course is full, you'll receive an error message after trying to register. If the course has a wait list and there is space available, the message will indicate you can add yourself to the wait list.Ìý
Note: all components of the course (lecture/lab/tutorial) need to be full to successfully get on the waitlist.Ìý You cannot add a combination of available and waitlisted sections; in this situation, please contact the Registrar's Office to see if it's possible to be put on the waitlist.
Also, first check on the if there is space available, and you're eligible to register, in any equivalent sections of the course; "equivalent" means they will count the same no matter under which course number you register.

How do I add myself to the wait list?Ìý
1. In the Action column, select Wait Listed from the dropdown.
2. Click Submit to be added to the Wait List.
The course will appear in yourÌýSummary with a status of Wait Listed. It will not appear on your schedule until you are actually registered for the course.Ìý
Keep checking your Prepare for Registration status page to see if permission has been granted. It's your responsibility to register for the course from the wait list. Receiving permission to register from the wait list does not automatically register you in the course.

To register for a course after you've received permission, proceed to the Register for Classes page. In your Summary, choose Web - RegisteredÌýin the actions drop down list and click Submit.Ìý
