If the class you want is full when you try to register, you'll have the option to join the waitlist automatically. When a seat opens up, students are added from the waitlist in the order they signed up.

- How Will I Know If I Get In?
-
If a spot opens up and you’re moved from the waitlist into the class:
- You’ll get an email from Student Services.
- Make sure your email is correct in ctcLink—that’s how we’ll contact you.
- You can also check your waitlist status anytime in the ctcLink Student Dashboard under Enrollment > View Wait List.
- Automatic enrollment from the waitlist can happen through the first day of the quarter.
- What If I’m Not Enrolled by the Second Day?
-
If you have not been notified by the second day of the quarter that you were moved from the waitlist into the class, you can:
- Fill out the Add/Drop Form.
- The form will be sent to the instructor for approval.
- If the instructor gives permission, you’ll be added to the class.

-
If you no longer want to be on a waitlist or want to make changes:
- Go to the ctcLink Student Dashboard under Enrollment > Drop Classes.
- When Do I Pay for the Class?
-
- Pay tuition by the payment due date, or right away if you're added after the due date.
