WAITLIST PROCEDURES

South Puget Sound Community College maintains a waiting list for all courses if they become full except for
classes with a WOL section.

Students may add themselves to the waitlist via the web or at the Enrollment Services office between Advising
Day and before the first day of every quarter. If an opening occurs in a class the student at the top of the
waitlist will be automatically enrolled in that class. Students are placed on the waitlist in chronological (first
come, first served) order and can be on a maximum of 5 Waitlists at a time.

Our Wait List job, which puts students into classes when there is an opening runs at 7 am Monday through
Friday. Please make sure you check your class schedule at 8 am Monday through Friday so you can adjust
your schedule within the 24 hour deadline.

The Waitlist will turn OFF on the following dates:

• Fall Quarter 2010 – September 17th at 12 pm

• Winter Quarter 2011 – December 30th at 12 pm
• Spring Quarter 2011 – April 1st at 12 pm

STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITIES

THE COLLEGE DOES NOT PROVIDE ENROLLMENT NOTIFICATIONS.

It is the student's responsibility to check the waitlist on a daily basis. Students have 1 business day following
registration into a class from the Waitlist to make a payment and adjust their schedule if necessary. It is the
student’s responsibility to monitor their status and pay any additional fees. Students are also responsible for
making sure their schedule is accurate by dropping any unwanted classes. Failure to do so may result in a
failing grade being posted to their transcript and possible additional tuition and fees.

HOW TO CHECK YOUR WAITLIST STATUS

1. Go to www.spscc.ctc.edu
2. Click on “Current Students”
3. Click on “Class Waitlists”

If a course no long shows on the Waitlist screen you have been enrolled into that class. Check your Waitlist

 The student becomes enrolled in more than 18 credits without an Excess Credit Request on file with the
Enrollment Services office.
 The student has tuition outstanding, parking fine, financial aid fine, or has a fine that bars registration.
Come to Enrollment Services or the Student Welcome Center in Building 25 to ensure that you don’t have
