How does the waitlist work?

Question

How does the waitlist work?

Environment

  • Admissions & Student Services (formerly Enrollment Center)

Information

Joining a waitlist does not guarantee registration in the class.  However, once a class becomes available the registration happens automatically.

Answer

If a section is waitlisted, and you are the first person on the waitlist, you will be automatically enrolled in the class, if a class becomes available. It is important to note that if this occurs past the tuition due date, you will have until midnight that day to pay your tuition bill.  If you don’t, you will be dropped from the class and the next person on the wait list will be enrolled.  

If you are enrolled, you will receive an email to your Grand Rapids Community College account reminding you to pay your tuition bill by midnight of the day you were automatically enrolled in the class.
