Wait List

1.  When searching for classes in CheckMarq, by default you will only see open (not waitlisted) classes.  To include waitlisted classes in you search results, check the "Wait List Classes" box in the Class Status filter on the left-hand side of the screen.

2.  Click or tap on the class section in which you want to enroll.

3.  Review your selection and click or tap the "Next" button.

4.  On the "Review Class Preference' step:

a.  Select "Add to waitlist if class is full?"

b.  Optional:  If you receive a permission number from the dept. (for example, to enroll without a prerequisite), enter it in the Permission Number box.

c.  Optional:  In the "Drop This Class (When Wait List Processed)" box, select a class that is already on your schedule to drop in the event you are successfully enrolled from the wait list.

d.  When ready, click or tap the "Accept" button.

5.  Use the "Next" button to either enroll or add the class to your shopping cart, and then submit.

6.  Once you have enrolled in the class, you will get a confirmation message letting you know that you have been added to the wait list, and stating your position on the list.

When adding yourself to the wait list, the "Review Class Preferences" step allows you to select a class that is already on your schedule to drop in the event you are successfully enrolled from the wait list.

You should use the Drop This Class option in the following scenarios:

• If you are already enrolled in another section of the same course for which you wish to wait list; 
• If you have a time conflict between an existing class section on your schedule and the class section for which you want to wait list; 
• If you are already enrolled in the maximum number of credit hours for a term and want to wait list a class to replace one of your other classes.

Note:  to use this feature, you must register for the class to be dropped before adding yourself to the wait list for your first-choice class.  Once you add yourself to a wait list, you will be unable to add or change your "Drop this Class" selection without dropping yourself from the wait list and re-enrolling.

You will receive an email notification to let you know that you have been enrolled in the wait listed class.

Although the wait list is a valuable tool because it allows you to be enrolled in a class that is full without continuously checking to see if an open seat becomes available, you should not count on being enrolled in a wait listed class.

You are encouraged to enroll in a full schedule of classes prior to adding yourself to a wait list.  Use the Drop This Class function when adding yourself to a wait list to select another existing class on your schedule to drop in the event you are enrolled from the wait list.  This way, you ensure you remain enrolled in a full schedule.

For classes that start at the beginning of the semester, the deadline to add yourself to a wait list is the Thursday of the first week of classes.  Refer to the Academic Calendar for deadlines associated with sessions that start after the beginning of the semester..

In CheckMarq, click or tap the Manage Classes tile.  Under the My Classes menu in the left navigation bar, your wait listed classes will appear under View My Classes and My Weekly Schedule, along with your enrolled classes.  The class status will say "Waiting".

My Weekly Schedule:

In CheckMarq, click or tap the Manage Classes tile.  Under the My Classes menu in the left navigation bar, click or tap View My Classes.  Your wait listed classes will be listed there, with your wait list position displayed.

Yes.  You can drop a wait listed class the same way that you drop a regular class in CheckMarq.

1.  In CheckMarq click or tap the Manage Classes tile.  Then click or tab Drop Classes in the left navigation bar.

2.  Select the class you want to drop.  Wait listed classes will have a status of "Waiting".  When ready, click or tap the "Next" button.

3.  On the next page, review your selection and click or tap the "Drop Classes" button.  You will receive a confirmation message that the class has been dropped.

There may be instances where you will need to receive a permission number before you will be able to add yourself to a wait list.  These instances include, but are not limited to, not meeting the required prerequisites, or if instructor consent is required.  Students will receive a permission number from the department that is offering the class.

You will need to submit a Credit Overload request form to your college office.

Courses with a status of Waiting will not be billed and are not counted toward your enrollment until you become officially enrolled in the course.  If you are registered full-time without the wait listed course(s) included, you will be billed as normal as a full-time student.  If you are not a full-time status with the courses you are actually enrolled in, you will be gilled at the per credit hour rate.

Some undergraduate financial aid awards require full-time enrollment and will not appear on the student account or bill until you are enrolled full-time.
