Check if you are on waitlists: CMCI advisors recommend avoiding waitlists whenever possible. In the rare instances when waitlisting for a class is necessary, follow these guidelines:
- Always have a backup course.听 When you are waitlisted you are not enrolled in a course. You will have access to the Canvas page, but that is not a guarantee you will be enrolled.听 Make sure you have a backup class in case you do not enroll.
- Set up Drop If Enrolled for your alternate course. Make sure you add the open course first before waitlisting for your preferred section.
- Waitlists are never guaranteed. Don鈥檛 assume enrollment, no matter your waitlist position!听
- Do not ask professors for permission to enroll in a class. They will refer you to academic advising for help adjusting your schedule to enroll in open classes.
- Attend both your waitlisted and alternate courses.听 This way you are not behind on coursework for the class you ultimately end up taking.
