Department Waitlists

  • All courses offered by Asian Studies will have waitlists enabled until the week before the term starts. 
  • Waitlists work on a first come, first serve basis, unless otherwise specified.  
  • You have 24 hours to accept or drop a seat once you receive a Workday notification about a seat being available in the course. 
  • The notification will expire if you do not respond within 24 hours, and the seat will automatically be given to the next person in line.  
  • Students who let three or more notifications expire may be removed from the waitlist at the discretion of the Department. 
  • On the week before the start of term, the Department will close all waitlists for courses starting that term. All waitlisted students will be dropped. Students are then responsible for monitoring their desired courses for open seats and registering themselves when spots become available.
