Wait Lists
A wait list is created for all summer and winter courses. If an instructor or academic department does not want a wait list created for a course, please contact the Office of Summer and Winter Programs.

Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Once a course reaches capacity, the course is “closed” and new registrations are blocked.  If seats open in a previously closed course, students are automatically enrolled according to their position on the wait list.

If there is no wait list for a closed course, it will automatically reopen if seats become available.

The “Auto-enroll from wait list” feature is turned off three days prior to the start of each session. Once auto-enroll from the wait list ends, students are told to contact their instructor or the Office of Summer and Winter Programs to determine if open seats are available.
