For most courses that are full or “closed,” you have the option to add yourself to the waitlist. The waitlist begins two weeks after the start of registration. If a spot becomes available in a course, Banner will send you an automated email.
At that time, you must log in to Banner and register yourself for the class. A specific amount of time is allotted for students to respond to a spot opening, so it is important that you check your SPU email daily. Typically, this deadline will be 24 hours; however, it may be extended for school breaks and shortened during the first week of the quarter.
To waitlist a class:
- Go to Banner > Student Menu > Class Registration and Planning > Register for Classes.
- Select the academic quarter for which you are registering and click Continue.
- In the lower right-hand box, find the course you would like to waitlist. There will be a drop-down menu next to the course, select “Waitlist,” and click Submit.
If you miss your window to register for the course you will need to re-add yourself to the waitlist. When you re-add yourself you will be added to the bottom of the waitlist. With few exceptions, the waitlist works on a first come, first served basis.
