Before you Waitlist a class, you will need to run a <BR>class search.
If you need more information about running a <BR>Class Search, please refer to the How to Search <BR>for Classes video.
In the Look Up Classes Screen, look in the first <BR>column under select.
A
“C”
to the left of a class indicates a closed <BR>class but you may be able to waitlist the class.
For example, suppose, you want to be added to <BR>the Waitlist for English 101 Composition.
First check the
WL
, Wait List columns.
WL (Cap)
Wait List Capacity, shows the number <BR>of students that can be added to the Wait List, in <BR>this case
7
.
WL (Act)
, Wait List Actual, shows the Actual <BR>number of students on the Waitlist. In this case <BR>there are no students on the Waitlist.
WL (Rem)
Wait List Remaining, shows the <BR>remaining seats on the waitlist, in this case
7
.
If you see under the “WL Rem” Wait List <BR>Remaining column, that there is availability on the <BR>waitlist,
and you meet all course requirements, you can <BR>waitlist the course.
To do so, you need to either type or copy the <BR>
CRN
(Course Reference number) for the closed <BR>class into your worksheet.
Either write the
CRN
down, or to copy it, click and <BR>drag your mouse to select the
CRN
.
Right click your mouse and select copy from the <BR>shortcut menu.
Scroll down to the bottom of the Look Up Classes <BR>screen and click on Add to Worksheet.
In the Add or Drop Classes Screen, scroll down <BR>to the Add Classes Worksheet.
Click in the CRNs box, and either type the CRN <BR>or if you copied it, right click your mouse and <BR>select Paste from the shortcut menu.
Click on Submit Changes.
In the Add or Drop Classes Screen, scroll down <BR>to Current Schedule.
You will see a Registration Add Errors Message.
Look in the Status Column to see what the error <BR>is. In this case, it is because the course is <BR>closed.
You can also check how many people are on the <BR>Waitlist.
To be added to the Wait list, in the Action column <BR>click the drop-down arrow.
Select Waitlisted from the drop-down menu and <BR>click on submit changes.
You will see in the Current Schedule, under <BR>Status that you are added to the Waitlist.
If a seat becomes available in a class for which <BR>you have waitlisted and you are the next person <BR>on the waitlist,
you will receive an email in your NCC account.
Check your NCC email daily. You must register <BR>within 24 hours to enroll in the course.
If you are no longer interested in the seat, <BR>PLEASE drop the course as soon as you receive <BR>the email.
A waitlist “seat” is not available to the next student <BR>until you either register or drop the waitlisted seat.
Also, each semester, there is a waitlist cutoff <BR>date. The wait list option may not be available if <BR>you are registering very late in the semester.
One way to see the Wait list cutoff date is to click <BR>on the Registration Fee Assessment link at the <BR>bottom of the Add or Drop Classes Screen.
In addition to the Wait list cutoff date, you will see <BR>Payment and Deadlines, Total Credit Hours and <BR>Tuition and Fees for classes you registered for.
