Per F20-1, departments may close waitlists starting on the first day of instruction. In order to close waitlists for a course for Spring 2025, submit a Request Form no later than Friday, January 3, 2025.

Why close or keep open course waitlists? 

Close waitlists on and after the first day of instruction to manage enrollment through permission numbers shared with students. When closing waitlists on the first day of instruction, departments are responsible to share the process to request permission codes with their students. 

Keep waitlists open on and after the first day of instruction to allow students to be automatically enrolled from waitlists through the ninth (9) day of the term, reducing any extra workload to instructors to hand permission numbers. Avoiding the use of permission codes creates one less barrier for their course enrollment.
