Waitlists
What if the section I want is full?
Get on the waitlist by using WebAdvisor (look for the "Waitlist" action when registering) or in person at Admission and Records. If the waitlist is full, keep checking back to try to get on it.
If space becomes available and you are the next person on the waitlist, you will be eligible to register in that class section.
Notice that we said "eligible to register". You are not automatically registered when space opens up. Instead we give you 8 calendar days from the time space becomes available to register. If you fail to register during this window, we will drop you from the waitlist.
How will I know if space becomes available?
It is your responsibility to monitor your position on the waitlist and to register if a space becomes available to you. To monitor your position on the waitlist, use the Manage My Waitlist function of WebAdvisor. If your status reads "Permission" you are eligible to register for the class.
WebAdvisor may not let you register if you are repeating a course, don't meet the prerequisites, or the class overlaps with another. Contact us at (831) 479-6201 to see if you need to register in person.
As a courtesy, we will notify you by email when you become eligible to register for the section. Do we have your correct email address? Change it using either WebAdvisor or a Change of Information Form.
What if no space becomes available?
You might still have a chance! Attend the first class session and talk with the instructor. If there's room, obtain an add code from the instructor and use it to register for the class in WebAdvisor. Click here for help using Add Codes.
Can I get on multiple waitlists for different sections of the same course?
No. In Addition, you may not be registered in one class section and waitlisted for another class section of the same course, even in two different terms. For example, if you are on the waitlist for BIO 6 for the summer term and you then register for BIO 6 in the fall, you will be dropped from the summer waitlist.
