Variable Credit Hour Classes

Some classes, such as research, independent study and dissertation classes, are offered with a range of credit hours.  When you register for a variable credit hour class online you are initially registered in the minimum number of credits.  You are responsible for updating the number of credit hours you are registered in before the semester begins.  Please contact your academic advisor or instructor with any questions about the appropriate number of credit hours.

2. If a class is offered with variable credit you will be able to click on the number of credits in the 'Hours' column.

Waitlisting

What is Waitlisting?

Students who attempt to register for a class that is may put themselves on a waiting list. When an open seat becomes available, an email will be sent to the next student in the Waitlist queue via their student rocket email address. The student will have 24 hours from the delivery of the email to add the class. Waitlisting will be available to students until 10 p.m. on the evening prior to the start of the semester. All Holds and Registration Restrictions will still apply to be eligible to waitlist a class.

Do all classes have a waitlist?

No. Many courses do have a waitlist enabled; however, there are some that do not. Use the Browse Classes and the Register for Classes links in Student Registration to see if a course has an enabled waitlist. The column will display the enrolled seats remaining and the waitlist seats remaining. If a course is not waitlisted but it is full and you would like to enroll, please contact the instructor to request a permit or to create a waitlist.

How do I get on a Waitlist?

In Find Classes you may find a class with a status that you may be interested in taking. Full courses are marked with a red exclamation point in the status column. If a course has a waitlist, there is a blue exclamation point beneath that displays the waitlist seats remaining.

Additionally, you can click on the course title to display Class Details and select the Enrollment/Waitlist tab to see more enrollment and waitlist information (such as the enrollment and waitlist actual, maximum, and seats remaining).
