Wait Lists

Overview

Beginning for Spring 2007 registration and beyond, the UMM Waiting List will be replaced by the online Wait Listing Option through the Class Schedule and online Registration System. If a UMM course has a wait list option, it will be indicated after the course in the online Class Schedule. Students will be able to get on the Wait List by going through the Registration System.

Wait listing provides functionality for students to indicate an interest in a class that has reached it's seating capacity. As this is done within the same system they use to enroll, there are benefits to both students and instructors, since this replaces manual systems used in the past; the student no longer needs to interrupt their registration process to wait list. Instructors have daily access to their Wait Lists. Wait listing also helps in tracking demand for classes and sections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Faculty: Wait List Processing

Wait list processing for each semester will continue through the 5th day of class. After this date, students will no longer be able to place themselves on a waiting list.

To see if your class has a waiting list:

Go to UMReports/Mangement Reporting at: http://www.umreports.umn.edu/

Once logged in (and if you have not customized your home page), type 'My Classes' next to the Search Reports tab located in the upper right-hand corner.

Clicking on the 'My Classes' link will take you directly to the list of classes (with enrollment) where you are assigned as the primary or secondary instructor.

If there is a waiting list for your class, there will be a Wait List link within the class list in the upper right-hand corner.

For students you wish to allow in there are two things you can do:

1. Assign the student a permission number from your list and notify the student.
2. Send e-mail to <mullinjl@morris.umn.edu> listing the students you want to let in.

A word of caution: Be sure to check the number of seats in the classroom the course is scheduled in before allowing too many more students in your course.
