If a class is full, wait listing allows you to add your name to an electronic wait list and potentially be added to the class, but only if space becomes available, and you meet all the course requirements.  Wait listing does not mean enrollment in a course and is not a guarantee of enrollment in a course.  The option to add your name to a wait list will begin on the first day of enrollment.  See the Academic Calendar for the deadline to add yourself to a wait list.

When you are on a wait list, it is up to you to monitor your enrollment.  If you no longer want the wait listed class you are responsible for dropping off the wait list.  When you are added to a class from the wait list and decide you no longer want the class, the normal add, drop, swap process applies.  It is recommended that you drop yourself from any wait list once you have set your final schedule.

Note:  the wait list option is not available for Marquette Core Curriculum Foundation and ESSV1 courses.
