Waitlist Information

How the Waitlist Works

If a student attempts to enroll in a closed class that has the Waitlist option:

• The student receives the "Closed - # Waitlisted" message
• The student has the option to elect to Waitlist the closed class section
• If the student elects to Waitlist, they are not registered
• When a seat becomes available in the class, the first student on the Waitlist is notified via Baylor email
• The student has 24 hours to add the class via BearWeb
• If the student decides not to register or the time expires, the next student on the Waitlist is notified
