Wait Listing Courses

Students may add themselves to wait lists for full courses by selecting the check box “waitlist if class is full” in MyNEVADA. Students may wait list up to 8 units per term.

As space becomes available in courses with wait lists, eligible students will be auto-enrolled from the list each night. Students are responsible for checking MyNEVADA to verify that they have been enrolled in the courses they requested. Auto-enroll occurs until the last day to enroll without instructor permission. To be eligible, students must:

1.meet ALL course prerequisites (or have an override in place);
2.have no time conflict with the course sections for which they are wait listed (see “swap course” feature below);
3.have been granted permission if department/instructor consent is required, and
4.have no holds that prevent enrollment. 

During auto-enroll, students must use the “swap course” feature in MyNEVADA to add themselves to a wait list for a course that conflicts with their current enrollment. If a space becomes available in the wait listed course, the auto-enroll process will swap the enrolled course for the wait listed course.

After the auto-enroll time period, students may contact the department when a space has become available in a wait listed course.  If approved these students will be given a full course override by the course department to enroll themselves online. Students with overrides must drop themselves from the wait list before attempting to enroll in a wait listed course. After the autoenroll time period, departments may purge the wait list allowing students with appropriate permissions to enroll on a first come, first served basis.
