 Summer Session 2009

Registration options may include a waitlist if the feature is engaged by the department. This option permits a department to obtain a list of names, in chronological order, of those who wish to be considered for the next available seat. If the waitlist itself is full, or the section has no waitlist, the section is closed.

When registering online, students can add themselves to a waitlist by choosing “Waitlist” from the “Action” pull-down menu.

If the course is closed and a waitlist is available, the status box will indicate how many students are already waitlisted.

Select “Waitlist” to be added to the waitlist.

When the status box indicates “Open”, it means that one or more students have dropped the course and there is space for a student to be added from the waitlist.

Students on a waitlist will not be registered automatically as spaces open. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain faculty or departmental approval on the Special Registration Form and to submit the form to the registration windows in the lobby of Neuberger Hall. Most departments expect waitlisted students to attend the first class meeting.
