Your Preferred Course Is Full
If you are trying to get into a course that is full, here are some suggestions on what you can do:
1. Register for the course waitlist
If available, try to register for a waitlist section as soon as possible. The department will move students off the waitlist as seats open. Ensure you check your registration status regularly for that course until the add/drop deadline.
2. Monitor the course on Workday
If no waitlist is available, you are welcome to monitor the availability of seats in the course on Workday. In case another student drops the course and you notice that there is an open seat, you can self-register in the course.
3. Register for the course after the term has started
Seats may be become available in the course after the first class, as students are making changes to their schedule. However, if you register for a course after classes have begun, you are still expected to complete course content by their deadlines regardless of when you join the course.
Additional Questions
If you have any additional questions, please contact EAS if you’re a first-year Engineering student or am upper-year Engineering student in the following programs: Civil, Integrated, Manufacturing, or Materials Engineering. Otherwise, please contact your Program Advisor or the relevant department (e.g., if you’re trying to register in a PSYC course, contact the Psychology department).
