Class Full Instructions

If Class is Full

When a class is full, the registration system will allow you to add your name to the waiting list for that class. In most cases the department will notify you if your name comes up for a spot in the class and then you can register. In some cases where there are special circumstances the department may not follow the list order. This happens, for instance, if a student needs a class in order to graduate that semester.

Note that when an online class that is held for online students becomes full, that class will be opened to online and on ground students to add their names the wait list.

If a class is full and there are exceptional reasons why you need this class this semester, you can email the instructor and ask if you can get an override into the class. We try hard to keep classes small enough for good instruction, so only exceptional reasons will be considered by instructors. If the instructor allows the override, ask them to send an email to the office indicating that. The office will check for prerequisite requirements and then let you know you can register.
