A wait list is an electronic list of students who would like to enroll in a closed class.  Wait listing does NOT guarantee enrollment into any class and not all classes have wait lists. Wait listed students must meet all registration requirements, including time conflicts and prerequisite requirements.

• Zoom = Remote Instruction ONLINE
• On campus, in person = Building name, number (example: Science 124)

Classes can only be added if they are more than 10 minutes apart, otherwise you will receive a time conflict error and will need to complete a petition to add via admissions and records.
