Waitlist FAQ
What is a waitlist?
How do I place myself onto a waitlist?
Can I add to more than one waitlist?
How can I monitor my waitlist position?
Log on to myGateway, go to “Registration” under Tools, and click “Waitlist Status.” If a seat is available for you to attempt to add, you will see a date and time in the “Notification Expires” field.
How will I know if a seat in the class becomes available while I am on the waitlist?
Attention Yahoo Email Users
If your email address on file is from Yahoo, you may not receive message text in the body of the email. We have contacted Yahoo, but they have yet to resolve the issue.
We suggest two alternatives:
- Switch to another email provider for college communication.
- Frequently monitor the Personal Announcements window in myGateway for messages from the college, including registration, and waitlisting.
How do I add the class once I am notified via Personal Announcement or Waitlist email notification?
Log on to myGateway, go to “Registration” under tools and click “Register for Classes – Classic”. Go to the specific waitlisted class in your list of classes and use the drop down box to register for the course. Don’t forget to click “Confirm Your Choices” and “Complete Registration”.
How long do I have to add the class when a seat becomes available?
What if I miss the 48 hour deadline to add the class after a seat opens?
What if I am on a waitlist and no seat becomes available before the first class meeting?
What if I am on a waitlist and the instructor provides me with an Add Code at the first class meeting?
IMPORTANT – You cannot add a course with an Add Code until AFTER the first class meeting.
Log on to myGateway, go to “Registration” under tools and click “Register for Classes – Classic”. Go to the specific waitlisted class in your list of classes and use the drop down box to drop from the waitlist. Enter the CRN, and follow the prompts to enter the 4 digit Add Code. Don’t forget to click “Confirm Your Choices” and “Complete Registration.”
