Waitlists

Learn how to put yourself on a waitlist, use the waitlist preference form, and check your waitlist position.

As we get closer to the beginning of the quarter, plans often change. Putting yourself on a waitlist ensures you are in the queue to be registered for that class if space becomes available. Your Evergreen email is how we will communicate with you about any registration changes.

Adding Yourself to a Waitlist

You can also watch the Waitlists video, prepared by Registration and Records Staff.

When you receive a “Closed- Waitlisted” error when attempting to add a class, it is because the class is full, but there is still room on the waitlist.

• Click on the Action drop-down menu
• Select Wait Listed
• Click submit
