Wait List Procedures
Office of the Registrar

1. Each semester, during the Early Registration, that is during the first month of registration, students may register for nearly all classes in the Schedule.  There are only a few exceptions.
2. After the Early Registration ends, Colleges make their decision regarding accommodating students already registered or addition of sections. There is no registration in progress during this time (usually two days).
3. Colleges may notify the Registrar’s Office if any students on the wait lists should be given priority to register.  All requests regarding prioritization of WL should are to be directed via email to:
   • For Chicago Campus and Online courses: watlistcc@roosevelt.edu
   • For Schaumburg Campus courses: waitlistsc@roosevelt.edu
4. The Registrar’s Office will register the students from the WL and notify them about the placement in the class by MyMail.  Students are asked to check MyMail frequently.

Selection Criteria

1. The Registrar’s Office will wait until 11:00 A.M. each day to process any WL requests, to give the Colleges a chance to review their lists.
2. Since the Colleges communicate their priorities of Wait Lists after analyzing the students’ graduation status, major, seniority etc. after 11:00 A.M. the Registrar’s Office will register students from the top of the list.  Students will be notified by MyMail. Please check your MyMail frequently.
3. If there a conflict between the waitlisted course and other classes on the student's schedule, the Registrar’s Office will assume that the waitlisted course is the one that the student wants.  The course which conflicts with a waitlisted class will be removed from the student's schedule.

Examples of conflicts:

• A time conflict:  Student will be registered for the waitlisted course and dropped from the course causing the time conflict.
• There is a registration for another section of the same course: the Registrar will assume that the waitlisted Listed course is the preferred one and drop the previous section.
• Registration exceeds the maximum number of semester hours allowed: The student will be contacted via MyMail. If there is no response, no change will be made.  The student will be removed from the Wait List.

Permissions and Exceptions

The only permissions accepted by the Registrar’s Office for enrollment into closed classes will be those of the approved College Representatives.  No other persons, including individual instructors, will be authorized to make exceptions. Also, after the class has met, an instructor's written or emailed permission is required.
