When a course reaches capacity, the system will close the course. Thereafter, if a spot becomes available in the course because another student dropped it, students who try to enroll directly via CheckMarq will receive a "Department Permission Required" error. This indicates that there is an active waitlist and open spots will go to students who have added themselves to the course's waitlist.

Accessing the Waitlist Form

• You may add yourself to the waitlist by navigating to the Registration Materials page on the Law School's website and selecting the appropriate semester's yellow waitlist form button.

Editing Your Submission

• To modify your waitlist request after submission, you must click "Save my response to edit" immediately after submitting — this link appears on your browser screen upon confirmation. We strongly recommend all students save this link each time they submit, as it is required to make any future edits.
• You should update your form as seats become available or your scheduling needs change.

Waitlist Processing

Waitlists are reviewed and processed on a weekly basis. Please note the following:

• Keep your form current. The information you submit will be used to process any enrollment changes if a seat opens. You will be notified by email if you are successfully added to a course.
• Respond promptly to any issues. If you receive an email identifying a problem with your request, you must respond within 48 business hours. Failure to respond will result in the seat being offered to the next student on the waitlist. Your position on the waitlist will be retained.
• Do not contact faculty directly to request enrollment prior to the start of the semester. Faculty have discretion to add students once the semester begins and waitlists are cleared; until that point, all additions are made strictly in waitlist order.
• Remove yourself if your interest changes. If you no longer wish to be considered for a waitlisted course, delete your request promptly to prevent unintended schedule changes.

Monitoring Your Waitlist Position

Following registration, you will receive periodic email updates indicating your current position on each waitlist and any movement that has occurred.
