ENROLLMENT FAQ
Q: I SEE A SPACE IN THE LECTURE, BUT I CAN'T ENROLL
A: The course has tutorials, and the tutorial you selected is already full.
Solution: Look for another tutorial that works for your schedule and still has space. If it still has space, you will be able to enroll through that tutorial. Otherwise, please add yourself to the wait list. If the wait list is full, please monitor the number closely and try again when a space becomes available.
Important note:
When a course has a lecture and tutorial component, you need to have a spot in both the lecture and in one of the tutorials to be enrolled in the course. If you are on the wait list for a tutorial, you are NOT enrolled in the course, even if there is still space in the lecture.
B: There is a reserve on that course, and you don’t meet the reserve requirement.
Q: THE CLASS STARTS TOMORROW BUT I AM ON THE WAITLIST. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
A: The last day to drop a course with 100% tuition refund is on the 7th day of the semester. Because of this, most course drops happen during the first week of classes. If your wait list position is within the top 10% of the class capacity, we encourage you to go the first lecture and talk to your prof.
If any drops occur, priority will be given to students who haven’t missed any lecture content.
Q: ANOTHER STUDENT WHO WAS INITIALLY WAIT LISTED BEHIND ME GOT ENROLLED, BUT I’M STILL WAITING. WHY IS THAT?
A: The wait list engine runs several times a day. When a drop occurs and a space becomes available in a course, under normal conditions, the #1 student waiting will get automatically rolled into the course from the wait list.
However, if any of the following conditions applies, the wait list engine will skip the student and enroll the next student on the list. Unfortunately, the system does NOT notify the skipped student.
