  1. How can I request to be added to a waitlist?
    If a course is full and a waitlist is available, you can select “Waitlist if class is full” when enrolling through my.unt.edu. 

  2. How do I know if I've been successfully added to the waitlist?
    You can view your waitlisted courses on your class schedule in my.unt.edu.

  3. Is there a limit to the number of courses that can be waitlisted?
    You may waitlist up to 9 credit hours during the Fall and Spring and 4 credit hours during each summer session. Regardless of how many credit hours you are waitlisted for, you will not be enrolled in courses beyond the maximum number of credit hours permitted for the term.

  4. Are the waitlisted credits hours counted into my total credit hours for the semester or term?
    No. You are not enrolled when you are waitlisted, so the course hours are not considered for official enrollment and do not count towards full time status nor calculated in tuition and fee bills.

  5. Can I waitlist in more than one section of the same course?
    Yes. The waitlist process will enroll you in the section that has the first available seat.
    Please note if you subsequently drop yourself from a waitlist when you are on the waitlist for multiple sections of the same class, you may be removed from all the waitlists for the same course.
    If you are already enrolled in a section of a class and you want to be on the waitlist of another section, use the SWAP feature. (see FAQ 8).

  6. Can I remain enrolled in my current section but waitlist a different section?
    If you wish to remain enrolled in your current section until space becomes available in the full section, enroll in the waitlisted section using the “SWAP” feature (see FAQ 8).

  7. Can I waitlist for a time that conflicts in meeting times with a course that I'm already enrolled in?
    Yes, but you will not be moved off of the waitlist until the time conflict has been resolved. If you wish to remain enrolled in your current course until space becomes available in the closed course, enroll using the “SWAP” feature (see FAQ 8).

  8. When should I use the “SWAP” feature to enroll in a waitlisted course?
    Swap allows you to remain in one course while waitlisted in a second course. If you are enrolled from the waitlist, the original course will be dropped. Swap should be used in the following scenarios:

    • If you are already enrolled in another section of the same course for which you wish to waitlist
    • If you have a time conflict between an enrolled section and the section for which you want to waitlist.
    • If you are already enrolled in the maximum number of credit hours for a term and want to still get on a waitlist

  9. What will prevent me from using the Waitlist function?

    • Course is not closed (has available seats).
    • You are already enrolled in that course (use swap)
    • You are already on the wait list for that course section
    • Waitlist capacity has been met
    • Not a valid enrollment period
    • Registration has ended
    • You need a Course Override or Department Consent
    • You have a registration hold on your account
    • You have reached the maximum number of waitlisted credits hours

  10. How often does the MyUNT check for open seats in waitlisted classes?
    The waitlist process is scheduled to run three times a day. If a seat opens, the waitlist will enroll the student in position 1 into the course and other students on the waitlist will move up in position numbers. 

  11. I was in position number 1 on a waitlist, why wasn't I enrolled when a seat opened?
    The requirements to be moved off of a waitlist are the same as standard enrollment:

    • You will not be enrolled in more hours than permitted in that semester or term
    • You will not be enrolled if you have not met the prerequisites or corequisites for that course
    • You will not be enrolled if you have any registration holds
    • You will not be enrolled in a course if it conflicts in meeting times with another course in which you are enrolled. (See FAQ 8)

  12. Can I take myself off of a waitlist?
    Yes, you must remove yourself from a waitlist by performing a drop from the waitlist.

  13. What is the first day I can get on a waitlist?
    Waitlists are available once the course has reached its enrollment capacity. For high-demand courses, this may be the first day of registration.

  14. What is the last day I can get on a waitlist?
    The last day of registration for the semester or term. 

  15. How will I know when I am enrolled in the waitlisted course?
    You should check your class schedule (and include Waitlisted Classes) in my.unt.edu. An email should be sent to your  UNT email address if you are enrolled from the wait list.

    As long as you are on a waitlist, you should monitor your class schedule frequently.
