A waitlist is a Banner feature that allows a student to add themselves on a list to be notified when a seat becomes available in a closed class. If a class is full, and the waitlist for the class has been made available, you may be able to add yourself to the waitlist. You will receive an email if a seat has opened up and it is your turn to register for the class.

USING WAITLISTS

• You can see if a section has a waitlist available by looking at the Status column in the schedule of classes.
• Not all departments use waitlists for registration.
• The time you have to act is limited! Be sure to monitor your university email every day to see if a spot has been offered to you. The waitlist registration window will also be listed in this email.
• You have to meet course prerequisites before you add yourself to a waitlist.
• Time Conflict errors will prevent you from adding yourself to a waitlist.
• If you are waitlisted you are not registered or guaranteed a seat in the class.
• If seats become available, the first students on the “list” are sent a notification to their UNC Charlotte email account and given the opportunity to register.

CHECKING IF A WAITLIST IS AVAILABLE

• You are only able to add yourself to a waitlist if the class is full and the department has made waitlist available.
• When you attempt to register, you may receive the error message “Closed – X Waitlisted”.

ADDING YOURSELF TO A WAITLIST

To add yourself to the waitlist, select the **Waitlist-Not Registered** option from the Action column and click Submit

• Select Continue

  • Upon being notified that a seat has become available, you must register for the class prior to the registration expiration date and time provided in the email. Waitlist registration will not extend beyond the last day to add/drop a course.
