The Waitlist is a tool to help students get a seat in closed classes as enrollment changes. Once a class is closed, students attempting to register for that class will be given the option of placing themselves on the waitlist. Students are responsible for checking their schedules to determine active enrollment in classes.

The  Registrar’s office manages the waitlist, and all communication should be sent to registrar@spalding.edu. If a seat opens up in a class, the first student on the waitlist will receive an email at  their Spalding student email account. Once a student is notified that a seat is available, the student has 24 hours to go into Self-Service and add themselves to that class. If no response is received before the deadline, the student will be dropped from the waitlist and the seat will be offered to the next student on the waitlist (if applicable). Depending upon the class start date and the number of students on the waitlist, the deadline may be extended.

Because enrollment in closed classes can change quickly due to students adjusting their schedules, it is strongly recommended that students check their email daily and monitor class status on Self-Service .

Available seats are offered on a first come, first serve basis. Therefore, the student who has been on the waitlist the longest will be offered the seat first. On rare occasions, there may be an exception due to degree requirements or other extenuating factors. Please note, only a School Chair can make that a request for an exception; faculty cannot request the Registrar to move a specific student from the waitlist into a closed class.
