Waitlisting a Course
Waitlisting a Course
Waitlisting allows you to add yourself to a “list” for classes that are full. If a class is full, you may be able to add yourself to the waitlist. You will receive an email if a seat has opened up and it is your turn to register for the class.
Not all courses use waitlists.
If you are waitlisted you are not registered for the class.
If you are waitlisted you are not guaranteed a seat in the class.
