Automatic Waitlist and Reserved Seats

  • If a course section is full or has a reserved seating rule, then you can waitlist for the course section.
  • Workday will automatically enroll you into the course when a seat becomes available provided you meet the criteria.
  • Once waitlisted, make sure you are eligible for auto-promoted into the next available seat:
    • You meet the course section eligibility rule (e.g., permission of instructor or prerequisite).
    • There are no time conflicts.
    • You are not registered for another section of the same course.
  • Only waitlist for sections you really want as the system will auto-promote you to the first available course section that you have chosen and for which you are eligible.
  • Departments may choose to revise their reserved seating rules during the second week of registration.
  • Starting third week of registration, on April 16, reserved seats will be released except for seats reserved for incoming Fall 2024 first-year students.
