Students will not otherwise be notified of their enrollment in a class from the waitlist. If a waitlist exists for a class at the start of the semester, a waitlist roster will be provided to the instructor which lists students in the order that they waitlisted for the class. The instructor may, at his / her discretion, use the waitlist to determine who may be allowed to add the class.聽
