Is Waitlisting the same as being Registered? Expand

NO, If a course has closed and has a waitlist option, you may choose to go on the waitlist for that course section.

You should not put yourself on the waitlist if you have enrolled in another section of the same course. You also should not waitlist for more than one section of the same course.

Waitlists are closed and deleted at the end of the third day of the quarter. All students will be dropped from waitlists at this time.
