Waitlisting

General Waitlist Information

• Waitlisting does not work with linked courses e.g. lecture courses connected to multiple lab sections.
• Departments should consider utilizing waitlisting for all sections of a given course rather than having a subset of the sections waitlisted. It can be confusing if one section of XXX 101 has waitlist, but another section of XXX 101 does not.
• Instructors utilizing the waitlist option for their course(s) cannot issue closed class overrides for individual students.
• Instructors cannot adjust a student's position on the waitlist.
• Instructors who would like to utilize the waitlist option for a course, should notify the Registrar and provide the following information:
  • Course CRN
  • Course department, number and section
  • Instructor's name
  • Number of seats the instructor would like to be on the waitlist, i.e. 5, 10, 15?

Waitlist Registration Information

• Students must register themselves for the waitlist via their OnePort account. If they attempt to register for a full class that has a waitlist option, they will be given the opportunity to add themselves to the waitlist.
• If a student adds themselves to the waitlist, they will be notified via their UNC Asheville email if a space becomes available.  The course instructor and the student's academic advisor will also be notified.
• Students have 24 hours from the date and time of the email notification to officially add themselves to the class. Student do this via their OnePort account.  If they do not register within 24 hours, the next student will be notified.
• Instructors are able to view the students on their waitlist via OnePort.
• Students may also view their position on the waitlist through OnePort by accessing the detailed schedule link.
