QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Wait list feature
Q: How do I get on a class wait list?
A: If a class is full and a wait list is
available, you might be able to add your
name to it. Select Wait list if class is
full before adding the course to your
shopping cart.
Q: When can I put myself on the wait
list?
A: Wait lists open at the same time as
enrolment and close at 11:59 p.m. on
the last day of enrolment.
Q: Can I see how many other people
are on a wait list and who they
are?
A: No, but you can see your position on the
wait list once, at the last step of
enrolment. Remember your place,
because you will not see it again.
Q: If I am number 8 on the wait list but
its a mandatory course, what are the
chances I can enrol?
A: Enrolment depends on students
program needs and class capacity. Even
if youre the first on the wait list, you
might not be the first to enrol. Enrolment
also depends on how many places are
reserved in the course for your program.
Q: How will I know a spot has
become available?
A: When a spot becomes available, you will
automatically be enrolled in the class
and receive an email notification. If you
have set up a swap and drop, the swap
will be done automatically, without you
being asked if you still want it.
Q: How many units (credits) of
courses can I put on wait list?
A: The maximum number of units you can
put on the wait list depends on the
number of units youre enroled for and
enrolment limits for your program. For
example, if youre allowed to enrol for 15
units in a term and you have already
done so, you can only add your name to
a wait list if you set up a swap.
Q: Can I be on the wait list for a
different section of a course in
which I am already enrolled?
A: Yes, but you must set up a swap of the
section youre enroled in with the
waitlisted section.
Q: Can I add my name to the wait list
for a discussion group or
laboratory?
A: No. You can only use the wait list
function for the main component (usually
a lecture or seminar) of a course. You
must choose all components to add your
name to the wait list.
Q: What about prerequisites? Can I
be on the wait list without the
proper prerequisites?
A: No. To add your name to the wait list,
you must be enroled in or have
completed the prerequisite(s). As well, if
you drop the prerequisite for a course
you have waitlisted yourself for, you will
be removed from the wait list.
Q: What happens if the course I want
to be waitlisted for is at the same
time as a course Im enroled in?
A: You cant add yourself to a wait list if
you have a time conflict unless you set
up a swap.
