Overview

UWF is excited to announce a waitlisting pilot program for Summer 2015 registration. Please review the Using Waitlisting and instructions found below to determine if registering for the waitlist of a closed/full course may be beneficial to you.

FAQs

What is waitlisting?

Waitlisting is the process by which students may sign up for a waiting list for a class that is full. The waitlist for a course only becomes active when a course is full.

Why should I use the waitlist?

The biggest advantage to students is that they will be notified when a seat becomes available in a course that was previously closed. Degree-seeking students have waitlist priority.

How do I know if a course has a waitlist?

The waitlist for a course will not become "active" until the course reaches capacity. This can be seen Using Schedule Planner and in the course search. There are three new columns that have been added to the display to help you know what your registration options are: WL Cap, WL Act, and WL Rem.


How do I get on the waitlist for a course?

There are two (2) ways to add yourself to the waitlist for a course; Using Schedule Planner OR using the standard Add, Drop, or Withdraw option. If a course has seats available, you will NOT have the option to add yourself to the waitlist.

What number am I on the waitlist?

Does the email say what number they are? What about anywhere in Schedule Planner?

What kind of notification will I receive if a seat becomes available for a course that I'm on the waitlist for?

Students will receive an email via their UWF EMAIL ACCOUNT notifying them when a seat has become available in a waitlisted course.

How long do I have to register for the course once I receive notification?

You have 12 hours  from the time the email is SENT (not read or received) to register for the course in which you were waitlisted, therefore if you are on the waitlist for a course, we recommend you check your UWF email at least 3 times a day.

What happens if I don't register for the course within 12 hours of the notification being sent?

If you are on the waitlist for a course, receive notification that a seat has become available, and do not register for the course within the allotted time, you will be removed from the waitlist and lose your spot "in line". You may re-register for the waitlist, however, the waitlisting is still available and the waitlist is not full.

When does waitlisting end?

Waitlists will be turned off on the Wednesday of drop/add for the semester. 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 throughout the end of drop/add.

Why can't I add myself to the waitlist?

  • The course is not yet full/closed (in this case, check whether or not you are now registered for the course).
  • You do not meet the prerequisites or other restrictions for the course.
  • The course is a graduate-level course.
  • The course is offered in part of term 5-9.
  • The waitlist is full.
  • Waitlisting has been turned off for the semester.

Instructions

There are two (2) ways to add yourself to the waitlist for a course; Using Schedule Planner OR using the standard Add, Drop, or Withdraw option.
