Managing a Waitlist

When scheduling a class, you may choose to add a waitlist for class registration (see Adding a Class). If a waitlist is added, it will appear at the bottom of the class registration page, and will populate when more students are registered for or have self-enrolled in the class than the maximum class capacity allows. Students who are waitlisted will see the Waitlisted designation on their My Learning pages.

Note: When students are first registered for class, if more students than the maximum capacity allows are registered at one time, students will move to the active roster in alphabetical order. Once the roster is filled, the remaining students will appear in alphabetical order on the waitlist. Subsequently registered students will appear at the bottom of the waitlist, and will be moved from the top of the waitlist to the active roster as space becomes available.

To access the waitlist

  1. Perform a class search. See Searching for a Class for details on conducting a class search.

  2. Click Manage Registrations from either the search return page or by clicking the name link of the class to access the Edit Class page. A listing of all registered students appears. A waitlist appears at the bottom of the page.

To replace a student from the active roster with the student at the top of the waitlist

  1. Select the check box(es) in the Drop column to the right of the student’s name on the active roster.

  2. Click either Drop From Class or Drop and Un-enroll From Course. The student will be removed from the active roster, and the student previously at the top of the waitlist will be moved onto the active roster and will appear in alphabetical order.

Tip: After students have registered or have been registered for the class, the Roster icon is visible at the top of the screen. When clicked, it pre-configures the Class Roster and Sign-In Sheet report with the selected class.

To remove a student from the waitlist

  1. Select the check box(es) in the Remove column to the right of the student’s name on the waitlist.

  2. Click Remove.

Tip: After students have registered or have been registered for the class, the Roster icon is visible at the top of the screen. When clicked, it pre-configures the Class Roster and Sign-In Sheet report with the selected class.

To force a student from the waitlist onto the active roster

  1. Select the check box(es) in the Force column to the right of the student’s name on the waitlist.

  2. Click Force.  The student will be moved onto the active roster and will appear in alphabetical order.

Note: Forcing students onto the active roster permanently increases the maximum class capacity.
