Students can now add themselves to a waitlist for certain courses that have reached their capacty.
If a class with a waitlist reaches its capacity, you can add yourself to the waitlist. If a spot in that class opens up, that spot will be held for the first person on the waitlist, who will have 24 hours to register for the class. After 24 hours, if the first person on the waitlist does not register for the class, the spot will be offered to the second person on the waitlist.
In Banner 9 Registration, waitlist information shows up in the Seat Availability column, which you can see in the example below. Not all classes will offer a waitlist option.
To add yourself to a waitlist, complete the steps below or follow the video instructions for Banner 9 Registration.
If you are the first person on the waitlist and a spot becomes available in the course, you will receive a notification via your Winthrop e-mail from waitlist@winthrop.edu. Once the spot opens, you will have 24 hours to add yourself to the class before that spot is offered to the next person on the waitlist. If you do not register for the class in that 24 hour period, you lose your spot on the waitlist.
To register for the class, go to Banner 9 Registration, in the Action column of the Summary panel, select 'Registered
via web' next to the class and then click 'Submit.'
To remove yourself from the waitlist, go to Banner 9 Registration, in the Action column of the Summary panel, select 'DROP via web' next to the class and then click Submit. This will remove you from the waitlist for that class.
Adding yourself to a waitlist is not a guarantee of registration in the course. You and your advisor should come up with an alternative course in the event you are unable to register for the course you are waitlisting. You should go ahead and register for this alternative course while waiting on the waitlist. You can drop it later if a spot comes available in the class you are waitlisting.
