A waitlist button will become available to students once the following criteria are met:
Registration Pass 1 2 has begun (this is a change effective Spring ‘17); (waitlist is available during Pass 1 during summer)
The department or instructor has enabled the waitlist for the course in eGrades; and
All lectures and sections of the course are full or closed by the department.
...
The Auto-Add process is a background process that runs 4 times per day (every 6 hours; midnight, 6am, noon, and 6pm) and attempts to add Waitlisted students to courses as spaces become available. This process will only add students that meet all eligibility criteria for a course (e.g. pre-requisites, major limitations, level limitation, etc.). Students that do not meet all criteria are notified at the time they add to the waitlist that they will not be auto added and will need to speak to the instructor or department.
