Course Waitlist and Etcetera
Using the Course Waitlist Function
Use myUK to sign up for a waitlist for a closed class. When a student drops a course, the person in the first position of the waiting list is automatically enrolled and the other students move up one spot.
Here's how to use the waitlist feature:
- Using the Quick Registration View, enter the course you wish to add and click the ADD button. If the section you request is closed but has a waitlist option, the course will appear on your Registration Screen with the Status of WAITLISTED.
- Using the Class Search View, enter the course in the Search field. Click on the course link to bring up all available sections being offered. Closed sections that have the waitlist option will have a WAITLIST button instead of an ADD button. To sign up for the waitlist, click on the WAITLIST button. The course will appear on your Registration Screen with the Status of WAITLISTED.
Once you are enrolled in a waitlisted course, the course status on your schedule will change from Waitlisted to BOOKED. All other students on the Waitlist will automatically advance one position on the list. If you Waitlist a course, be sure to check your schedule on myUK periodically to determine if your status for the course has changed. You are responsible for monitoring your status in this course.
You may remove yourself from the Waitlist at any time during registration or add/drop by using the DROP function.
Certain Waitlist Restrictions
- You must meet all course prerequisites and pass all restrictions (major restrictions, classification restrictions, etc.) to be eligible to Waitlist.
- You cannot Waitlist a course that has a time conflict with an Enrolled course on your schedule.
- You cannot Waitlist for a different section of the same course for which you are already enrolled.
- You may only Waitlist one section per course.
- You may only be Enrolled and Waitlisted for the total number of credits for which you are eligible (e.g. most undergraduates have a credit load limit of 19 credit hours). Enrolled hours plus Waitlisted hours may not exceed your credit load limit. If you must maintain full-time status for financial aid or other purposes, Waitlisted hours do not count toward full-time status. Undergraduate students ENROLLED in at least 12 hours are considered full-time. Graduate students enrolled in at least 9 hours are considered full-time.
- You will remain on the Waitlist until you are successfully enrolled in the course, or until the last day to add a class when all Waitlists are automatically purged.
Changing a Grade Type
- You may select to change your grade type for a registered course using myUK. Please refer to the Schedule of Classes for instructions and deadlines.
- Grade types are normal grade type (letter grade), pass/fail or audit.
- Freshmen and graduate students may not take courses on a pass/fail basis.
