"Crashing" My Courses

A new priority wait list system was implemented in the summer of 2010, automating the process of adding students to filled classes as openings occur. While the system is not quite working as advertised, it IS adding students from the wait list if those students:
1) Respond quickly to the notification email from the college.
2) Pay their fees right away.


Due to the new process, add codes will not be issued in online courses. If an online class is full, you can be added to the class by putting your name on the wait list, and carefully watching your email. Pay special attention during the day following the time students are dropped for non-payment of fees. Admissions and Records usually announces that date/time.

Add codes will be issued in hybrid and on-campus classes only after open registration has ended. This could take up to two weeks; please be patient and continue attending.
