Before a class begins, if the number of students enrolled in the class hits the max, a waitlist will be opened for that class. Students will then be able to add themselves to the waitlist using the same method of registering for the class. However, Under the action column in the summary section of the Register for Classes tile in MyMPC you will select "Waitlist" instead of register before hitting the submit button.
That will enable you to get in line to enroll in a class that is full if a space becomes available before the class begins. If a spot opens in the class and you are next up on the waitlist, you will get an email sent to your preferred email on file. The email will give you the information and codes that you need to enroll in the class. You will have a limited time to enroll afterwhich your access to enroll will expire. If you do not enroll during this time, you will be removed from the waitlist.
When the class begins, the waitlist will become inactive. This means you will not be able to enroll into the class off of the waitlist. Once a class begins, to enroll in the course, you must get an add code from the instructor and follow the process to admit using an add code.
