NEW WAITLIST PROCESS FOR WINTER 2007

Beginning Fall 2006, UCSD introduced an automated wait list procedure. There are several important aspects of this process which affect students: 1) You may enroll and wait list for a total of 19.5 units prior to the first day of classes. In past quarters, you were able to enroll in a maximum of 19.5 units without your wait-listed units being counted. Now, however, putting yourself on a wait list means that if and when a space becomes available, the enrollment system will automatically enroll you in the course. 2) When a space is available, you will be moved from the wait list into the class and be sent an e-mail notification. 3) If you add your name to a wait list but you are not eligible to enroll in the course (such as lacking a prerequisite) and a space becomes available, you will be dropped from the wait list.

The main feature of the new wait list procedure is that the enrollment system controls the process, thus eliminating the need for students to submit add cards or use WebReg when a place opens up in a course.

♦ What this means for Muir Writing students :

Students with 90 units or more will continue to be put on priority wait lists at the MCWP office. This is a two-step process: 1) you must come to the writing program office (HSS 2346) to have your name added to a course wait list; 2) after incoming freshman and transfer student enrollment has ended in November, the writing program office will authorize students on the priority wait lists to enroll and you will be emailed a reminder. If there is still space in a class, you will be responsible for enrolling directly in the class; however, if the class is full, you will be responsible for placing yourself on the WebReg waitlist for that course.

Students on the wait list must attend the first week of class. If any seats open in the class, they will be automatically moved off the wait lists and into the class. Students will receive an e-mail notification that they have been enrolled.
