Waitlist
What is the Waitlist?
A Waitlist is a record of student registration attempts in a particular course which has already reached its maximum enrollment. The order of attempts determines the priority for enrollment in a closed class if/as seats become available. If a student chooses a course and section for which enrollment has already been reached, there is most likely the Waitlist function available. Most LMU courses will have this capability.
How to Waitlist a Course.
During PROWL registration when a student attempts to add a course which is closed, but has Waitlist seats available, the student will see the following message:
"This section is closed. The Waitlist is open. There are ## already on the Waitlist."
To be added to the Waitlist, the student must select a status of: Wait List > Submit Changes.
The Waitlist Process
When a seat becomes available for a Waitlist course, the first student on the Waitlist will receive an email at the Lion email account. It will inform the student of the 24-hour deadline to either add the course or be dropped from the Waitlist.
- To add the course, the student must select a status of Web Registered > Submit Changes.
- To not add the course, the student can drop from the Waitlist and the next student on the Waitlist will be notified.
- If no action is taken, the student will be dropped from the Waitlist after the deadline passes and the next student on the Waitlist will be notified.
About Waitlist
- To waitlist is not a guarantee that the student will be registered in a closed course.
- All course requirements must be fulfilled before being added to a Waitlist, for example, prerequisites must be met, there must be no time conflict, etc.
- Only Lion email accounts will receive Waitlist notifications.
- A few courses may not have the Waitlist functionality.
Questions regarding Waitlist should be directed to the Office of the Registrar.
