How do I give priority to a particular student on a waitlist?
While there is not currently a way to flag a student as next in line, you may always issue an approval code to allow a student into a course.
Can settings be changed for an individual lecture if there are multiple offerings of a course?
As of right now the Waitlist system only supports one set of criteria per Course, so all instances of a particular course number will share settings.
When does the Auto-Add process stop?
The Auto-Add process stops running once the deadline to add a course without an Approval Code passes or prior to the first day of instruction depending on the waitlist settings. If you wish to shut off this process early, please work with the eGrades grading coordinator to update the waitlist settings to disable the Auto Add function.
Why can I no longer edit the waitlist settings?
Instructors may edit the waitlist settings at any point up until the first student adds themselves to the waitlist. Once students have started adding to the waitlist, edits to the settings must be performed by users in the Grading Coordinator, Acting Chair, or Chair roles. You should still be able to view the waitlist, export the waitlist, and send a group email using the utilities on the Waitlist tab.
