Getting on a wait list
When adding yourself on a wait list for a class, it is important to remember the following:
- Being on a wait list does NOT guarantee a seat.
- Not all courses or sections will have a wait list enabled.
- Log into MyMadison, click the “Student” tab, then click on “Student Center.”
- Under the “Academics” tab, click “Search.”
- Enter your search criteria. Uncheck “Show Open Classes Only.” Courses with a green circle are open, blue square are closed, and yellow triangle are full with a wait list enabled.
- Click "Search."
- You have searched and located the class you wish to enroll.
- If the class you want has a waitlist enabled, click “Select” to proceed.
- Check the box “Wait list if class is full.” If this course is for “repeat” or “repeat forgive” credit, choose the appropriate drop down selection from “Repeat Code.” *See important information on repeat options.
- Click “Next.” Your course is now in your shopping cart.
- Click the “Enroll” tab, then click the “add” subtab.
- Click “Proceed To Step 2 Of 3.” Click “Finish Enrolling.”
- When viewing your class schedule, the status will say “Waiting” if you successfully wait-listed a class.
- You will be notified via email IF a seat becomes available. The message will either notify you that you have been registered, or it will instruct you to complete registration on MyMadison.
- You can drop a wait-listed course at any time.
