Waitlisting Information

How Do Students Take Advantage of the Waitlist Option?

1. Log in to OnePort and try to register for the course.
2. If the course is closed, students will receive one of two messages:
   a. “Closed – waitlist open”: This means space is available on the waitlist.
   b. “Closed – waitlist closed”: This means the waitlist is full.
   
   NOTE: If a message of "Open - Reserved for Waitlist" is received, this means that a seat in the class has opened but it is reserved for students on the waitlist.

If students receive the “closed – waitlist open” message, they may add themselves to the waitlist via
OnePort and wait for a seat to open. The option to add to the waitlist is under the drop-down box where they add/drop. Students may monitor their position on the waitlist via OnePort by viewing their detailed schedule.

If students receive the “closed – waitlist closed” message, they will not have the option to add themselves to the waitlist because no additional spots are available. Students may, however, check back periodically to see if a space on the waitlist becomes available.

3.   If students place themselves on the waitlist and a seat opens up in the course, notification is sent to their UNC Asheville email. Students then have 24 hours from the time the notification is sent to add the course through their OnePort account. If the time expires, students must begin the waitlist process over again. Please note that the normal registration hours of 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. in OnePort still apply.

4.   If students place themselves on the waitlist and decide they no longer want to take the course, they must log in to OnePort and drop themselves off the waitlist so the next student can be notified.
