Add a Student to a Waitlist

You can add a student to a waitlist for a scheduled course.

A scheduled course is also known as a course section.

Whether you can add a student to a waitlist depends on the course setup and waitlist security permissions.

When you create and schedule a course, you can enter a waitlist capacity. Here's what happens when enrollment in the scheduled course is full:

• The status of the scheduled course changes to Waitlist Available.

• On the Add Scheduled Courses page, the Waitlist check box is available.

To add a student to a waitlist:

1. Follow the steps Add Scheduled Courses to add a scheduled course to the student's record.

2. At step 8, select the Waitlist check box on the Add Scheduled Courses page.

3. Click Process:

   • The student's enrollment status is set to Waitlisted.

   • The student is assigned a position number on the waitlist.

You can notify students when they're added to a waitlist.
