Waitlist for Advisors
Helpful Tips
- Students will be able to add themselves to a Wait list from the time of their enrollment appointment through the day before the First Day of Classes for a term. The Wait list job will continue to run through the first day of classes. After the start of classes, students can use the Course Permit form to submit requests to add full courses. It is the departments鈥 discretion to decide the priorities of students existing on the Wait list and of students filling out a Course Permit form to add themselves to a full course.听
- Almost all undergraduate sections will be set up for Wait list, once all open seats are taken students may add themselves to a wait list in WebReg. Should a seat become available, students will not be able to register if there are students already on the wait list for that course. This protects students already on the Wait list, and allows the department to manage enrollment.听
- A nightly Wait list job will automatically move students from the Wait list to Enrolled. If a staff member wishes to manually enroll a student from a Wait list, they will need to drop them from the Wait list, and then enroll them in the course.听
- Students cannot see their Wait list position number, or see who else is on the Wait list. Departments may determine their own priorities for enrolling students from the Wait list by setting reserve caps and by manipulating students鈥 Wait list position numbers.听
- Students can add themselves to multiple Wait lists for the same course, however the Wait list job will not enroll a student if they are already enrolled in the course. If a student, not enrolled in a given course but is on multiple Wait lists for that course, is enrolled in a section by the Wait list job, they will be dropped automatically from all other Wait lists for the same course. Students manually enrolled in a section must be manually be dropped from other Wait lists.听
- Enrollment Restrictions: The system checks if students have met prerequisites before allowing them to add themselves to a Wait list. However, the other enrollment edits (reserve caps, time conflicts, etc.) are not performed until the Wait list job attempts to move student from Wait list to Enrolled.
- There are FAQs for students on the Registrar鈥檚 Webpage. For questions regarding enrollment, students should contact the department offering the section. If students have technical questions about Wait lists, they should contact grading-registration@udel.edu.
Students trying to add a full course with a Wait list option will see a disclaimer message and an 鈥淎dd to Wait list鈥 box in Webreg:
Once a student adds themselves to a Wait list, it shows with the WL designation in Webreg.
Students can drop themselves from the Wait list by selecting 鈥淒rop鈥 in the Action column.
