The waitlist process allows students to place their names on a waitlist for a class section that is full.
Students move up the list as openings occur and are filled.
NOTe: Being on a waitlist is no guarantee that you will get into a class. Students must still meet
pre-requisite and/or probation requirements for the class before they can be enrolled.
HoW Do I WAITLIST?
NO MORe WAITING IN LINe!
Waitlisting Beg i n s sum m e r 2009
• Go to WebAdvisor at http://webadvisor.mccd.edu (see below for sign-on instructions)
• Attempt to register for the class. If the class is closed/full you may be given the option to
WL-waitlist for the class. If there is a waitlist spot available and you choose WL-waitlist, you will
be placed on the waitlist for that section. You may only waitlist for one section of any given
course. You can see the classes you are waitlisted in by checking Manage my Waitlists section
of WebAdvisor.
• You may also be placed on a waitlist by submitting a schedule request form at the registration
counter in the Lesher Building on the Merced Campus or the Admissions/Registration counter at
the Los Banos Campus.
• Qualifed waitlisted students will be added to class sections by instructor signature on a schedule
request form using the student waitlist as it appears on the instructors class roster. Signed schedule
request forms must be turned in to the registration desk for enrollment to occur.
• You must attend the first session of any class that you are waitlisted for in order to be considered
for enrollment in that class. Failure to check in with the instructor of a class you are
waitlisted for can lead to your being dropped from the waitlist for that class. Online students
must contact their online instructor through email at the time of their first online class meeting
to express their continued desire to enroll in the class.
• To remove yourself from the Waitlist, go to the Manage my Waitlists section of WebAdvisor
and check the remove box and update. This will remove you from any waitlists that you have
checked. You can also go to the registration counter at either campus and ask to be removed
from any waitlist.
It is important for you to monitor your registration/waitlists through WebAdvisor whenever possible.
You are responsible for any class enrollment resulting from waitlisting yourself in a class.
WebAdvisor is a great tool that allows students to check their grades, register for courses, search classes,
drop classes, waitlist for classes, pay class fees online and more.
To use WebAdvisor you must be a regular continuing student or a new student who has previously registered
in at least one class. Returning, probationary and high school students cannot utilize WebAdvisor
at this time.
