Waitlisting

Waitlisting is an upgrade to Web Advisor that will allow you to electronically “wait in line” for the next available seat within a class. As a vacancy becomes available, the next student on the waiting list will be automatically registered for the section. This process will eliminate the need to constantly check back to see if the section you desire is open.

Adding Yourself to a Waitlist:
You can add yourself to a waitlist in-person or online. 

To add yourself to a waitlist online, use Web Advisor and go through the online registration process. At the Register and Drop Sections page select “WL Waitlist” from the actions dropdown menu.

To add yourself to a waitlist in-person, visit the registration counter located on the 2nd floor of Building 10. Fill out a registration form with the information of the closed course section(s). The registration staff with add you to the waitlist.

Managing Your Waitlist:
You can manage your waitlist by visiting the registration counter located on the 2nd floor of Building 10 or online using Web Advisor. In Web Advisor, the “Manage My Waitlist” page will allow you to remove yourself from a waitlist, see what courses you are waitlisted for and how many students are on each waitlist, and monitor your position in line for a waitlist. The registration staff can also provide you with this information.

Being Registered by Waitlisting: Because many registered students fail to pay their bill, several vacancies typically become available after the first payment deadline date. You will be notified by you’re my.sinclair email when you are registered for a waitlisted course. If you sign up for a waitlist, it is important to check you’re my.sinclair email regularly. By placing yourself on the waitlist, you agree that you are financially obligated to pay for the course.
