| Waitlisting |
Waitlisting is an upgrade to Web Advisor that will allow you to electronically “wait in line” for the next available seat. As a vacancy becomes available, the next student on the waiting list will be automatically registered for the section. The students will then be notified via email that they have been registered for the course section. This process will eliminate the need to constantly check back to see if the section you desire is open – let us do the waiting for you! |
