Add/Drop Courses
Students may choose to waitlist a course if it is full. During the registration process students will receive the option to waitlist when a class is closed. Select the waitlist option by choosing the “Waitlist” in the dropdown box next to the class. An automated email will be sent to the student’s school email account when a spot opens in the class. The student will then have 72 hours to register for the course waitlisted. After the first day of class, the student will have 24-48 hours to register. For more information see our waitlist FAQ..
