Who was the last person to register for your class?

Enrollment Request Search in PeopleSoft Campus Solutions is a page commonly used to audit a student’s enrollment history for a particular term or a particular class. Did you know that the page can also be used to see the history of enrollment activity for a particular class section? For example, you can find who was the last person to register for your class.
  1. Go to Records and Enrollment > Enroll Students > Enrollment Request Search
  2. Enter Academic Institution (e.g. UMNTC)
  3. Enter term and 5-digit class number and then click search
  4. Use the column headers to sort the data
The page contains 48 columns. The data may be easier to view by downloading it to an Excel spreadsheet via the download icon .
TIP: Select see all columns icon before you download to Excel.

Check fall term instructor assignments

You can have a positive impact on your classes when you enter complete and correct instructor information. Listing Instructors gives them access to their online class rosters, Canvas, as well as their grade rosters (at the end of the term). Students also benefit from knowing who their instructors will be as they begin their semester.

CCS schedulers should verify instructor information for fall (1199) on the Meetings tab for:
  • Correct Instructor
  • Accurate instruction role
    • Note, all teaching assistants should be given a role of “TA”
  • Appropriate grading access
    • Note, undergraduate TAs may not be given grade access

Auto-enroll from waitlist reminders

Auto-enroll from waitlist stops running for each term/session on a date specified per campus. For the fall 2019 regular session, the last waitlist run for the Twin Cities campus will be at 11:58 p.m. on September 3, 2019. Staff from system campuses are encouraged to check with their Office of the Registrar to confirm campus-specific dates.

Following the last run, those classes which still have waitlists will typically have an Enrollment Status of “Closed”. A common question is, how do you fill any seats that may subsequently open due to enrolled students dropping the class? You have two options to consider, and each department can decide which option is best for their situation:

Option 1


Give students a permission number to override a closed class using the Closed Class checkbox on the Class Permissions page. This option allows you to give permission to waitlisted students, when appropriate. To assist in determining which students to provide permission, the waitlist will be available for your reference until the end of drop/add period.

Option 2


To allow any student to register for the remaining seat(s), go to the Enrollment Control tab, uncheck the Auto Enroll from Waitlist checkbox, and save. This changes the Enrollment Status to “Open” and permits registration up until the second week of term, when instructor approval is required.
