Waitlist Information
What is a waitlist?
If your preferred section was filled before you were able to enroll, you may add yourself
to the waitlist. A waitlist allows you to put yourself on a list to be notified IF a seat
opens in a full course.
It DOES NOT guarantee that you will get a seat.
Most sections that fill DO NOT re-open.
It DOES NOT mean that other sections will be added. You SHOULD register for another open
section or open course in order to stay on track to graduate on time.
How do I add myself to the waitlist?
To do this, navigate to the Schedule tab within Plan & Schedule. The course will be
listed in red on your calendar. Along the left side of the screen, you will find a tab
associated with that specific course. Select the blue Waitlist button to add yourself to
the waitlist for that specific section.
To verify you are on the waitlist, the status bar at the top should read “Waitlisted” with
a ✓ and the blue action button changes to “Drop Waitlist”.
What happens when a seat opens?
If you are next on the waitlist and a seat opens up, you will receive an email from
registrar@elon.edu with the Subject: Waitlist- Space Available. You must take action to
claim your spot in the course.
- You have until 11:59 PM of the following day to claim your spot.
- This process runs 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week including weekends
and holidays. - If you do not act before your time expires you will lose your spot
on the waitlist.
Once granted permission, return to Plan and Schedule in OnTrack. In your course list,
the option to register should now appear above the Drop Waitlist button.
