What is a Waitlist?

What is a waitlist? 

Waitlists enable students to be automatically enrolled in closed classes as seats become available. Before the first day of classes, a daily process runs to automatically enroll students from the waitlist. If all waitlisted students are successfully enrolled in the class and there are still seats available, the class will reopen. However, if all students from the waitlist are moved to the class filling the class to capacity, the class will remain closed and the waitlist will reopen. 

Do all classes have a waitlist?  

No, not all classes or departments offer waitlists. If a waitlist is available, an orange icon with a "W" will appear next to the section in the Class Schedule when you are logged into ctcLink. In the example below there are 99 waitlist seats available out of 99. If a class is full and a waitlist is not available, check back regularly for possible openings.
