Waitlist During the Schedule Adjustment Period (first 10 days of class), waitlisted students must check in daily (via Testudo). Students who do not check in will be removed from the waitlist. Students moved from the waitlist into the course must confirm registration into the course on the same day notification was received. If confirmation is not received, then you may be dropped from the course altogether. Placing yourself on a course waitlist does not guarantee enrollment/registration. Other alternative courses should be picked as a back-up. If you have any questions, please consult with your Advisor. Please consult the Office of the Registrar for further information. Back to top |
