Waitlist:

Click the following link to view the Wait-List Frequently Asked Questions

Wait-List Frequently Asked Questions [PDF]

A number with “waiting” indicates the number of students who have placed themselves on the waitlist for a section that is full. Click on the waiting link to view the waitlist capacity for the section. Not all sections have waitlist slots, such as restricted or cross-listed classes.There is also a limit to the number of waitlist slots assigned to each section.

"C/L" refers to cross-listed sections. Typically, cross-listed sections are different levels of instruction such as beginning, intermediate, and advanced in a shared classroom with the same instructor. Cross listed courses sections are separate CRN’s linked together in a group and assigned to the same date, time, room, and instructor with a combined capacity. ;An example of cross-listed courses is one classroom where Math 007-Prealgebra, Math 123-Elementary Algebra, and Math 127-Intermediate Algebra meet but each course has a separate CRN with a combined capacity of 30 seats. Click on the C/L link to view cross-list seat assignments and capacity.
