Waitlist Reordering Criteria
In Workday, students may waitlist themselves to appropriate classes during the initial weeks of registration. Once all registration groups have had a chance to register for classes, registration will close for a brief period during which faculty will be able to reorder their waitlists by completing the online Waitlist Reorder Form. For spring 2026, this form will be available November 17 - December 1, 2025.
The Registrar's Office will post these reordered waitlists to Workday and registration will reopen. Students will be able to see their new position on the reordered waitlists, but not the names of the other students on the list.
The purpose of this criteria is 1) to offer faculty guidance for reordering their waitlists in an equitable and transparent fashion and 2) to make clear to students why their waitlisting position may have changed.
Criteria for reordering waitlists
- Class Audience
- What is the primary audience of this class? For example, is it geared towards first and second years? Majors? Students in need of a particular distribution requirement?
- Major/Minor Requirement
- Does the student need the course for their major/minor?
