Waitlisting

When registering for a desired course, if you receive a registration add error stating that the course is full and the waitlist is open, you can add yourself to the waitlist by:

1. Selecting Wait Listed from the drop-down menu in the Action box and
2. Clicking the SUBMIT CHANGES button

If you have added yourself to a waitlist and would like to view your current position:

1. Log into SSB
2. Click on the Student tab and then the Registration link
3. Now choose the Detail Course Schedule link which will show which courses have been waitlisted, the date you placed yourself on the waitlist, and your priority position on the waitlist

When a seat becomes available in a waitlisted course, an automated notification is sent to your UIndy Email Account. This email lets you know that a seat has become available in the waitlisted course, and that you need to register for the course before the stated deadline (Date/Time), or the seat will be offered to another student (sample notification content is below).

Yes. Although you are automatically notified that a seat has opened in a course you have waitlisted, you must now register for the course within the specified time period. To register for the course, please:

1. Log in to SSB within the given time period listed in the email
2. Click on the Student tab and then the Registration link
3. Next click on the Add or Drop link
4. Find the waitlisted course on your schedule
5. Select **Registered** from the drop-down menu
6. Click on the SUBMIT CHANGES button, to register for the open seat

The notification you receive will advise exactly how long you have to register for the waitlisted course. Typically, you will have 72 hours to register for the course, although during the final month before classes begin, the time period is reduced down to 24 hours. If you do not register for the course within the allotted time period, you will be removed from the waitlist, and the available seat notification will be sent to the next person on the waitlist. All waitlists are dissolved at 4:30 PM ET on the Friday before classes start. After that, registration during the remainder of the drop/add period is on a first-come, first-served basis.

No. Waitlisting DOES NOT guarantee a seat in the course. You will receive an email notification, if/when a seat opens up in the course.

You can add yourself back onto the waitlist, provided the waitlist maximum has not been met.

No. All course registration requirements must be met prior to registering for a waitlisted course. It is recommended that you search for an open section of the required corequisite course / linked section if you receive an error when attempting to register for a waitlisted course.

To add a required corequisite/linked section when registering for a waitlisted course:

1. Log in to SSB within the given time period listed in the email
2. Click on the Student tab and then the Registration link
3. Next click on the Add or Drop link
4. Find the waitlisted course on your schedule
5. Select **Registered** from the drop-down menu
6. Now in the Add Classes Worksheet section near the bottom of the page, enter in the CRN(s) for corequisite/linked section in one of the boxes
7. Click on the SUBMIT CHANGES button to register for both the waitlisted course and the corequisite/linked section

If a required corequisite/linked section is not available, you can waitlist for the corequisite/linked section, however if you do not register for the notified course within the allotted time period, you will be removed from the waitlist, and the available seat notification will be sent to the next person on the waitlist.

If a department increases the maximum capacity for a course, the first person on the waitlist will automatically receive an email notification, of an available seat.

To remove yourself a waitlist, please:

1. Log into SSB, within the given time period listed in the email
2. Click on the Student Tab and then the Registration Link
3. Next click on the Add or Drop link
4. Find the waitlisted course on your schedule
5. Select Drop (Web) from the drop-down menu
6. Click on the SUBMIT CHANGES button

No. Waitlisted courses do not count toward your credit hours, UNTIL you actually register for the course.
