What is a registration wait-list?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A registration wait-list is an electronic list of students who are waiting in line to register for a full course and will be notified via email if a seat becomes available. Once notified, a student will need to register within the 24 hour window they are given once placed on registration queue. If the student does not register by the deadline he\/she will be dropped from the wait-list and the next student in line will be notified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I join a wait-list will I automatically be registered?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. If a seat becomes available, you will receive an email notification instructing you of the 24 hour window to either register for the course listed or drop yourself from the wait-list. It is your responsibility to check your email on a regular basis in order to register yourself for the course you wait-listed for when it becomes open. Your advisor will not receive an email on your behalf. Wait-listing is not registration nor is it a guarantee for future registration. You should use priority registration to get courses you need and want. And attempt to register for open sections rather than wait-listing for closed sections, using wait-listing only to revise or optimize your schedule. A full-time student needs to register for a full course load, registration wait-listing not credit-bearing nor is it a guarantee for future registration. If a seat becomes available via wait-listing you can revise your schedule accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I join a wait-list?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may choose to join a wait-list for a full(closed) section via Mountie Hub(Webster) on the \u2018Register for Classes\u2019 page. See the Wait-list tutorial for detailed instructions on how to wait-list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cannot web-register, can I join a wait-list?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes. However, you will need to fill a registration form and email it to add.drop@eou.edu<\/a> or bring it to the registrar\u2019s office, 105 Inlow hall. When you are notified of your 24 hour window to register you must contact the registrar\u2019s office via email, phone (541-962-3607<\/a>) or in person within that time period and we will register you for the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I know my position on the wait-list?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will not know your exact position on the wait-list. Your placement on the wait-list and notification of available seats will be on a first-come, first-served basis. In Mountie Hub(Webster) under course information you can see how many places are available for wait-listing, and if the wait-list is full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I join a wait-list will I eventually be notified of an available seat?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly, but there is no guarantee that wait-listing for a section will lead to registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How will I know if a seat becomes available when I am on a wait-list?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be notified by email (to your EOU email address) if a seat become available. So check your email regularly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I need to meet registration requirements to join a wait-list?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes. You need to meet the same requirements to wait-list for a section as you would to register for that section. You will not be able to wait-list for a class if you have not met the pre-requisites or registration restrictions requirements. Please check with your advisor if you are presented with an error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is wait-listing available for all classes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait-listing is available spring term for the list of classes on the registrar\u2019s wait-listing website www.eou.edu\/registrar\/waitlisting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When will wait-listing be available?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For each term wait-listing starts during pre-registration as soon as classes fill to capacity (closed\/full). Wait-listing will end the Friday of 1st week at 5:00 pm (fall term Monday of the 2nd week at 5:00 pm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I still have the dean and instructor sign for me to register for a course?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not for any wait-listed courses during the wait-list period. If an undergraduate section is closed on a wait-list course, you have the option to join the wait-list. After the first week of courses, after the wait-listing period, registration will be permitted in accordance with catalog policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do I have to wait-list for a section that appears to have an open seat?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a section is open (there are available seats) and there are students on the wait-list you can attempt to register, however, if the available seats are \u2018locked down\u2019 for the students on the wait-list you will be prompted with the option to join the wait-list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I wait-list after registering for the max allowable credits?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes. You can wait-list for a section after having registered for the maximum allowable credits for a term. If notified of an available seat, you will have to drop a registered section before attempting to register for the wait-listed section if your credit total is above the allowable limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I wait-list for two sections of the same course?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes. You may wait-list for a section of a course in which you have already registered or selected to wait-list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I register and wait-list for classes held at the same time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes. You can be registered for, and wait-list for courses that have time conflicts. It is on you to be aware of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I join a wait-list if I have a hold that restricts registration?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. Since wait-listing is a registration transaction a hold restricting registration will also restrict you from joining a wait-list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I accidentally dropped myself from a wait-list or changed my mind after dropping, what can I do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the wait-list isn\u2019t full, you can again join the wait-list. By dropping from the wait-list you have given-up your spot \u2018in line\u2019 and the next student in line has advanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a senior, do I get priority once joining a wait-list?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. Your placement on the wait-list and the notification of available seats will be on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens if I was notified of an available seat but missed my deadline to register?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you missed your deadline you were dropped from the wait-list and the next student on the wait-list was notified of the available seat. If you are still interested in registering for that section, and the wait-list isn\u2019t full, you can again join the wait-list again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if I am notified of an available seat and I am no longer interested in registering?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should drop yourself from the wait-list right away. You can drop yourself from the wait-list at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long will I have to register once I am notified of a spot available?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will have until the deadline indicated on your email notification, which is 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many students on the wait-list are notified when a seat become available?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is one notification per available seat and it is first-come, first-served. For example, if one seat becomes available the next student \u2018in line\u2019 on the wait-list will be notified. If three seats become available at once, then the next three students \u2018in line\u2019 are notified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I know if I am still on a wait-list?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will not be dropped from a wait-list unless you have been notified of an available seat and you do not take action by the deadline or the wait-listing period has ended. You can see the sections you are wait-listed for by looking on the Mountie Hub(Webster) \u2018Register for Classes\u2019 page. The status of these sections will be \u2018Wait-listed\u2019. The only time you are able to register for a wait-listed course is when you see Web Register<\/strong> in the drop-down \u2018Action\u2019 menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I register for a wait-listed section once notified of an available seat?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to Mountie Hub(Webster) \u2018Student Registration\u2019 page, find the wait-listed section and select Web Registered<\/strong> from the \u2018Action\u2019 drop down box and then click \u2018Submit\u2019. The status of the section will change to Web Registered<\/strong> once successfully registered. If you cannot self-register you will need to fill out an add\/drop form from the registrar\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will I see my wait-listed sections on Canvas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. Only classes for which you are registered for will be available to you in Canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will I be billed for a wait-listed class?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. A wait-listed class is not a registered class and has \u201c0\u201d credits associated with it. You are only billed for registered classes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
