If the class you need or want is full, you can add yourself to the waitlist. If a seat opens up in the class, you will be notified about the opening via email to your CMU student email.
If you are trying to waitlist for a lecture/lab combo (for example BIOL 101 and BIOL 101L), you will need to reach out to your advisor or call IRIS to be put on the waitlist due to complications if only one of the two classes opens.
During the winter and summer breaks, the Registrar's Office reserves the right to process the waitlist as needed to assist with enrollment. Prior to the first day of class, it is your responsibility to check your schedule to make sure you are enrolled in the courses you desire.
By adding or waitlisting for a class, you are responsible for payment of any new tuition charges.
1. When registering for classes instead of 'Web Registered' you will see the option of 'Waitlist' as seen below.
2. If you would like to waitlist for the course click 'Submit Action' and you will be waitlisted for the course.
3. Review your schedule to ensure you have been waitlisted for the class.
Closed – 001 Waitlisted: The class is closed, but has an online waitlist available. The numbers preceding the word “Waitlisted” indicates the number of students currently on the waitlist. You may add to the waitlist or not by choosing “Waitlist” or “None” from 'Enter CRN' page.
