Registration and Waitlisting FAQs

If I drop a class and change my mind, can I register again for the same class?

You can register for the same section, if there are seats available.

If you drop a class that has an active waitlist, you must add yourself to the waitlist or register for a different section that does not have a waitlist. Refer to the details on how to join a waitlist.

If I am dropped for nonpayment, does that affect waitlisted courses?

Yes. If you are dropped from a registered course due to nonpayment, you also will be removed from any joined waitlists.

What if there's a time conflict between registered and waitlisted courses?

You can choose to be on a waitlist for a course section even if this creates a time conflict with another class on your schedule.

However, there cannot be a time conflict between two registered courses. Therefore, when you receive the email notification of an open seat in the waitlisted course section, you will need to decide which class to take. If the waitlisted class is preferred, you must resolve the time conflict by dropping the currently registered class before adding the waitlisted class.

Registration fees

In addition to the university's mandatory Registration and Record fee, you may incur late registration, late add or reinstatement fees. Visit the Student Business Services explanation of fees page for details.
