Waitlisting for a course

The automated waitlist process provides students the opportunity to enroll in closed sections of a course as space becomes available. When a space becomes available, the student will receive an email notification through their email that a seat is now available and that the student is now eligible to register for the course within the time frame indicated in the email. The student must then login to his or her MyCCRI account and register for the available seat. If the student DOES NOT register within the specified date and time, the available seat goes to the next person on the waitlist. If the student who originally received the notice wishes to go back on the wait list, they will have to re-add themself to the waitlist to get another chance.

Please check your email frequently during the registration period. Waitlists will be purged at the start of late registration (students will be dropped from the courses they are waitlisted for that semester).
