Wait Lists and Open Seat Notification Lists

 

Accessing the Wait Lists and Open Seat Notification Lists

  • Login to Corsair Connect.

  • Click on the "Enrollment" tab; select the correct term of enrollment, then click on "Wait for a Class" or on "Open Seat Notification List."

  • These options are not available throughout the year. They will show up on your Corsair Connect enrollment menu only during the appropriate timeline corresponding to the enrollment period.

About Wait Lists

  • The Wait List for a class opens up to students two (2) weeks before the start of a term--first come, first served. The maximum capacity for a wait list is approximately 25% of the maximum seat capacity for the class. The wait list will be updated as students enroll in the class or remove themselves from it.

  • Students will be able to join a single wait list per course (only one section of the course), subject to any course/section eligibility requirements (e.g., prerequisites, time conflicts).

  • The wait list is ordered in chronological order: the name of the student joining the wait list the earliest will be included at the top (#1). Instructors may use this information when considering granting Authorization (add) Codes once the class starts. Students will be able to see their position in the wait list (“Wait List Rank”) in Corsair Connect.

About Open Seat Notification Lists

  • Students may now add themselves to any "Open Seat Notification List." The purpose of the Notification List is to alert you by email that a seat has opened up. All students on the Notification List for the class will get this email.

  • Whoever enrolls first gets the seat. Being in a notification list does not guarantee an actual seat to anyone. Enrollment for the open seat is on a “first come, first to enroll” basis.

  • The class open seat notification list will be available to students until the Wait List option is activated 2 weeks before the start of the term.

  • Students will be able to join any Notification List, subject to any course/section eligibility requirements (e.g., prerequisites, time conflicts).

  • Notification list will not be capped. All students in the notification list will receive an email alerting them of an open seat.

  • Students may remove themselves from the notification list at any time through their Corsair Connect account.
