Registration Waitlist Registrar’s Office Colorado State University
What is the registration waitlist? The registration waitlist is an electronic list of students who are waiting to register for a full class—standing in line electronically rather than physically
How will it work? Students may sign up for this when they attempt to register for a section that has reached its capacity The first student on the waitlist is notified via their RAMmail account when a space becomes available The student then has 24 hours to register for the class before being dropped from the waitlist The student is not automatically registered
More registration waitlist details The ARIES Registration Waitlist will be available for registration for Summer 2010 and beyond There will be an ARIES Registration Waitlist for all undergraduate, on-campus sections The maximum number of students who may sign up for the waitlist of a section is 99 Faculty and staff will not be able to manipulate students’ positions on the waitlist
What does it look like for students?

Student has a choice of actions…

Student’s registration, including waitlisted sections
What happens when a space becomes available in a section? An email notification will be sent to the student A text message may also be sent The student will have 24 hours from the time the notification is sent to register for the section If the first student on the waitlist fails to register for the section before their deadline, they will be dropped from the waitlist and the second person will receive a notification This will continue until someone from the ARIES Registration Waitlist registers for the section
What happens if a student misses the deadline to register, because they didn’t read their email, they forgot, etc? Students are responsible to routinely check their email and/or text messages Students who miss the 24 hour deadline must re-register for the ARIES Registration Waitlist if they still wish to register for the course/section
Email notification
Student’s options after notification and before the deadline noted in the email
Where can the student see information regarding their waitlisted classes? Information for students regarding their waitlisted classes will be available through RAMweb They will be able to see all the classes for which they have signed up on a waitlist They will be able to see their position on each waitlist They will also be able to see any pending deadlines for sections for which they have the opportunity to register

Summary Students will now have the opportunity to ‘wait in line’ electronically for a space in a section—they will not have to depend on chance to get in a full section when a space becomes available The ARIES Registration Waitlist requires no new action or intervention on the part of faculty or staff Everything concerning registration will stay the same with the exception of the availability of the waitlist
And a bit more summary… Students must meet the prerequisites and/or restrictions of the section before being allowed to sign up for the waitlist The responsibility for the actions connected with the waitlist belongs to the students The student will have 24 hours to register for the section from the time the space available notification is sent There will be a waitlist capacity of 99 for all undergraduate, on-campus sections beginning Summer Session 2010
