Beginning with registration for Spring 2012, some course sections will be offering a waitlist that students can sign up for via AppalNet once the section is closed. The purpose of waitlisting is to allow students the ability to more easily monitor courses they need that are closed as opposed to frequently checking back on AppalNet. Waitlisting will not be available for every course and being on a waitlist for a section does not guarantee the student will get a seat in that course.

Below is a tutorial on how to add oneself to a waitlist once a course is closed. More information can be found on the Waitlisting FAQ (frequently asked questions).

Instructions for Waitlisting a Closed Section

  1. Observe that a closed course section has a waitlist tied to it by the waitlist 'Capacity', 'Actual', and 'Remainder' columns:
