How to Waitlist a Course in Stellic Scheduler

Waitlisting a Course in Stellic Scheduler

A course section that is closed may have a waitlist that has been set up by the department. This tutorial will show you how to enroll into the waitlist for a course that has one. If the course section has no more seats available and does not allow you to add yourself to the waitlist, contact the instructor or department of the course for more information.

How to Add yourself to the Waitlist

When selecting a section of a course to add to your plan {https://registrar.unl.edu/class-registration-tutorials/adding-courses-stellic-scheduler/), you may notice that the course section you want to enroll in has a red 0 next to it. This shows that there are no seats available for that section.

If you select a section with no seats available on the waitlist, you will see a message on the updated Class Details right-hand panel and in the warning message at the top left of your scheduler. You will either need to select another section, or contact the instructor or department of the course section for more assistance.

However, if you select a section with a waitlist and there are open spots on the waitlist, you will see a message saying that you must opt into the waitlist. This message will be on the update Class Details panel as well as in the warning message at the top left of your scheduler.
