General Student Interaction With The Wait List

Student Requesting A Spot On AWait List

If a course is full and a wait list is available, the student will receive a message to this effect when attempting to add the course on PAWS. To add himself to the waitlist, the student must select the "waitlist" option in the “action” column to the left of the call number and then press the "submit" button.

 

If he submits a wait list action, the following will be confirmed by SIS before he is placed on the wait list:

Student has met the prerequisite

Student has met the corequisite

Student has no time conflicts

Student will not exceed the unit maximum for the quarter

If all of the above conditions are met, the student will be wait listed for the course (or courses) and will see a message similar to the following:

If the student has not met the corequisite, he will be asked to enter a call number for the appropriate corequisite (lecture/lab; lecture/discussion; etc.) in another action line.

Student Removing Himself From A Wait List

A student who wishes to remove himself from a wait list must select that action in PAWS and press the "submit" button, similar to the action he would take to drop himself from a course.

Maximum Enrolled Units

Waitlisted units are counted as enrolled units for the purposes of meeting the maximum hours on screen 111. Once a student reaches his maximum with any combination of enrolled and waitlisted units, he will not be able to add any additional units until he either drops a class or removes himself from a wait list.
