Waitlist

Waitlists for closed classes are now automatic!

If your class is full, students still wanting to register for it will have the option to add themselves to an online waitlist through PeopleSoft. On each day that a seat opens up in your class, the system will add the first eligible* student off of the waitlist.

As the instructor, you can view any waitlists for your classes by selecting "Waiting" from the drop-down menu on your Class Roster.

Step 1: Log in to your Faculty Center at home.apu.edu

Step 2: Go to the Class Roster for the class you want to view

Step 3: From the Enrollment Status drop-down menu, select "Waiting"

Step 4: Read the list of students to see who is on your waitlist and in which priority position

If you want to get a few of the students from the waitlist into your class, you have two options:

1. Contact your department office and ask them to increase the enrollment capacity of your class. Once this happens, the waitlist system will automatically fill those extra seats with the first eligible* students off of the waitlist.
2. If you have any "Closed Class" permission numbers available, issue them to the specific students you want to add and then give the numbers and expiration dates to the respective students. Keep in mind that doing this will put the number of students enrolled in your class above the enrollment capacity, which means that more than one student will have to drop (to bring the number of enrolled students below the enrollment capacity) in order for the waitlist to be able to add students to your class.

*A student will only be added to your class from the waitlist if he or she has met ALL requirements to register for the class. The possible issues include: time conflicts with other classes on the schedule, already enrolled in a different section of the same course, not meeting all of the prerequisites or corequisites, and/or having a registration hold on his or her account.
