Helpful Hints
- When adding a class with a lab, be sure to click both the class and the lab before clicking 'Continue to Registration'.
- Check out the Important Dates page for Add, Drop, and Withdraw Deadlines.
- Contact IRIS for further assistance.
- When registering for classes instead of 'Web Registered' you will see the option of 'Waitlist' as seen below
- If you would like to waitlist for the course click 'Submit Action' and you will be waitlisted for the course as seen below
- Review your schedule to ensure you have been waitlisted for the class.
IMPORTANT: Once waitlisted, it is your responsibility to check your Colorado Mesa University e-mail for notification when the class opens. The system will send you an e-mail within 10 minutes of an opening if you are first on the waitlist. Prior to the first week of class, you will have 72 hours to add the class. The week before classes begin the time limit drops to 48 hours. Once class starts, you will only have 24 hours to add. If you do not take action, you will be removed from the waitlist and the seat will be offered to the next person on the list. There may be occasions when you receive the email, but the class has closed in the interim. This could be due to corrections, administrative processing, a faculty signed add slip, or your time limit expired. In these cases, you will need to re-add yourself to the waitlist or contact the Registrar's Office for options.
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.
Classes with labs - The Registrar's Office processes all waitlists for classes with labs due to complications when only one of the two classes opens. The open spaces are given to the first person that can successfully register for both the class and lab. The Friday before classes start, the waitlist will be cleared to best ensure open classes fill. To enroll in classes with labs the first week, a student may choose from the open sections.
By adding or waitlisting for a class, you are responsible for payment of any new tuition charges. For detailed payment/billing information contact IRIS.
- Click the ‘Login to Register’ button, click sign in, and select your term.
- Your schedule should now appear.
- Next to the course you received your waitlist notification for, click the trashcan button seen below:
- You should see this message below indicating the course has not yet been dropped:
