Understanding Waitlists

January 1, 2025 — 

The waitlist function is an important part of registration, it helps manage course demand and ensures fairness in the registration process. Read on for information and resources on waitlists.

Adding a waitlisted course

Instructions on how to add yourself to the waitlist. 

Reviewing your position in a waitlisted course

Instructions on how to check your position on the waitlist.

If it is your turn to register, your ‘Waitlist Position’ will be ‘0’ and will be accompanied by a ‘Notification Expires’ date and time; this is your deadline to register for the course.

Waitlist Notification

Instructions on how to register in a course once you received an email notification of a space available to register for. 

Removing a waitlisted course

During the registration revision period (usually the first 2 weeks of the term), if you no longer require your waitlisted seat, remove yourself from the waitlist to open space for other students.

Waitlist functionality is inactivated at the end of the registration revision period and waitlisted courses are no longer displayed on your Aurora account.

Do not remove yourself from a Waitlist after the last day to DROP a course. Students will be automatically removed from Waitlists.

For further information, visit our Waitlist page and FAQ’s or watch our instructional video.
