What Should I Look For Before Switching Classes?

Switching Classes

When switching out classes make sure you first check to see if the class you are wanting to register for has a waitlist and if there are any students on it. Some classes will appear open but are really not. The seat that appears open is actually reserved for students on the waitlist.  

If you try to register for a class that appears open but has an active waitlist, you will only have the option to waitlist for the course, and in turn, may lose your seat in the class that you were initially registered for.

Common Error Messages

Prerequisite Test Score Error

You will receive this message if you do not meet the Prerequisites for the course.

To view the course prerequisites, simply click on the course title & then the prerequisites link.

If you meet the prerequisites that are required to take the class, you'll need to email the Department for which the class falls under and request a prerequisite override in order to register.

Contact Instructor/Dept to Add

CAUTION: Before doing so, make sure the section you are wanting to switch to is actually open and does not have waitlisted students to avoid losing your seat in the class that you were initially enrolled in.

If you are trying to register for classes that have the same course number but different CRNs, email the department that the course falls under and request a duplicate override in order to register.

HOW TO WAITLIST?

How Does Waitlisting Work?

Waitlist Process

Waitlisting allows students to wait in a virtual line for classes that are full. 

When a seat opens up, which can happen at any time & day, including weekends & holidays, an email is sent to the first student on the waitlist giving them 24 hours to register.  All emails are sent to the Wildcat student email account.

How do I get on the waitlist?

Waitlisting a Course 

1. Go to the Register for Classes app in eWeber portal.
2. Click on the Register for Classes link
3. Add the class to the Summary Box
4. Select the waitlist option from the drop down action menu for the class
5. Click Submit.

Where Do I Find My Waitlist Position?

Waitlist Position

To view your waitlist position, go to the Register for Classes app in the eWeber portal.  

On the Register for Classes page, locate the class on the Schedule Details Tab in the lower left panel.

Click on the small arrow located to the left of the course title to drop down a message box.  

Your waitlist position will be listed in the message box.

If your waitlist position shows as 0, then select the Web Registered option for the class in the Summary Box and click Submit to register.

What If I Miss My Waitlist Time?

Expired Waitlist Notification

Waitlisting is an automatic system, so if you miss your time to register, the next student on the waitlist has already been sent a waitlist notification email.

If you miss your time, you'll need to get back on the waitlist for another opportunity to register.
