If a waitlist is full because it reached maximum enrollment, please continue to check Banner Self-Service frequently to see if space becomes available or additional sections become available. As the registration period progresses and you are still unable to secure a seat in the course, please contact your Academic Advisor for alternative course options for the term.
Note: It is helpful to check for open seats during the period just after grades are posted for each term. Enrollment can change frequently during this time.
- If you are notified of an open seat go to the “Add/Drop/Withdraw Classes” link in Banner Self-Service and select Web Registered from the Action drop down.
- Upon being notified that a seat has become available, you must register for the class prior to the registration expiration date and time provided in the email. Waitlist registration will not extend beyond the last day to add/drop a course.
- If you are no longer interested in this section, no action is necessary.
