Waitlisting Classes

If you register for a class that is closed but waitlist eligible, you have the option to get on a waiting list in case seats open up in the class. Once you add yourself to the waitlist, it is your responsibility to monitor the status of your waitlist request and pay any resulting fees by the due date. A notification will be sent to your IU email account if your waitlist request is satisfied.

• To add yourself to a waitlist, check the ‘Waitlist OK’ box.
• If you would like to drop a class if a waitlist request is satisfied, enter the Class Number of the course you wish to drop in the ‘Drop if Enrolled’ field.

Tips:

• Make sure that the class meeting times you are trying to waitlist do not conflict with the classes you are already registered for or you will be passed over when seats open up.
• Check on the status of your waitlist request online in OneStart. After the last day of waitlist processing (4th day of the term for Fall or Spring semester; for Summer semester see deadlines, all unsatisfied waitlist requests expire, even though they will continue to appear in your class schedule.
• You must drop a waitlist requested class just as you would any registered class if you no longer want to take the course.
