Waitlist Reminder
Waitlists will be purged and turned off September 13, a week before the fall semester add deadline, to provide adequate time to enroll in other courses if you are unable to move off the waitlist. We understand you are still hoping to get into the course(s) for which you are waitlisted. We want to be sure you are being proactive in both determining whether or not you are able to move off a waitlist into a class AND have a back-up plan in case that does not happen. Please remember that having access to a class Canvas page is not the same as being enrolled. Waitlisted students have access to Canvas, but if you do not see your enrollment in SIS, you are not yet enrolled in the class. Students still on the waitlist should speak to their professor about the likelihood of enrollment and pursue a backup plan as needed. After waitlists are purged, any student not officially enrolled in the class in SIS will lose access to Canvas.
