Excerpt

UWF uses the waitlist feature within our registration system to combat the confusion of trying to enroll in closed classes. Many classes will have waitlists that might not have had them in the past, and students will be able see where they are on the waitlist priority lists. The waitlisting process will also be automated.

Disclaimer: This doesn’t mean that ALL classes will use waitlists. Directed studies, dual listed courses, internships, field studies, cooperative education, and individual performance courses are not eligible for waitlisting.

Please review the 121405801 FAQs and instructions found below to determine if registering for the waitlist of a closed/full course may be beneficial to you.

image of right arrow Students who are on a waitlist that is nearing its end date (see below) may find that waitlist availability could end before the deadline in their notification email.  The deadline to take action is the earlier of the student's email notification deadline or the end of waitlist availability for that Part of Term. As we continue to improve waitlist efficiency, it is possible the dates below may change.

FAQs

What is a waitlist?

A waitlist is the process by which students may "get in line" " for a class that is full. The waitlist for a course only becomes active when a course is full or has reached capacity.

...

When does waitlisting end?

Waitlists are turned off at 3:00 PM the business day before the semester start (part of term). If you were previously on a waitlist for a course, we recommend you continue to monitor the enrollment of the course on a regular basis through the end of drop/add period.

...

If you have not already dropped the course, go to registration and drop the course for which you are on the waitlist. You can then attempt registration for the course and if it closed, and there are still spots available on the waitlist, you can reenter the waitlist. You will be placed in the designated priority based on this registration attempt.
