A pilot project for waitlist registration has launched for select undergraduate courses. Waitlist registration is a new feature in the Self-Service Banner system which allows students to join a waitlist for a course that is at capacity for an upcoming term. Waitlisting is being introduced as a pilot project over the coming months, and course waitlists will be broadly available for Fall 2023/Winter 2024 registration. The project allows Enrolment Services, in partnership with faculties, to review course demand and adjust to meet students’ needs.
“We’re excited to introduce this new feature to our course registration system. Waitlisting will improve the efficiency of online registration for students, as well as allow the University to observe trends in course demand to inform our decision-making for future course planning,” says Dave Peters, Acting University Registrar.
Students can find out if courses for Winter 2023 have a waitlist offered, and find instructions for using this process on our website.
For questions about course selection and joining a course waitlist, students can reach out to their Academic Advising office.
