How to Waitlist a Class

New information about waitlists and changes to the waitlist process with the new Triton Student System (TSS):

• In TSS, waitlist requests run continuously, instead of just once a day. As soon as a seat becomes available in a course in TSS, the first student on the waitlist is immediately booked to the course in real time — there's no need to keep checking back.
• The status on your Student Overview Homepage will change from waitlisted (shown as Booked on Waitlist) to Booked once you're in.
• Be careful when dropping a course! If you drop a course and the course has a waitlist, you'll need to join the waitlist and wait for your turn to be re-booked to the course.
• While you're on the waitlist, you have the same options as a booked student:
  • Drop — removes you from the waitlist
• View more information and instructions on waitlisting.

Waitlist timing

• Waitlisting is not available during the first-pass booking window to encourage students to book in required courses.
• Classes can be waitlisted until 11:59:59 p.m. on Friday of the 2nd full week of classes. See deadlines for the academic year.
• As of the second-pass booking window you can be booked in and waitlisted for a total of 19.5 units.
• After the quarter begins, you can be booked in and waitlisted for a total of 22 units.
• If you don't meet class requirements when you attempt to move from the waitlist into the class, you will not be booked to the class.
• The last run of the auto waitlist program is Friday of the second full week of classes at 11:59:59 p.m.
• Note that being on a waitlist is not a guarantee that you will be booked into that class. In many cases, a student already booked in the class will need to drop it in order for students on the waitlist to move up and into the class as space allows.

• TSS will offer you the option of booking in another open section of that class, or waitlisting the section.
• You can only waitlist for one section of a course.
• You can't be simultaneously booked and waitlisted in different sections of a course.

Note: Classes you have waitlisted will display in TSS.

• You can't be simultaneously booked and waitlisted in different sections of a course.
