Once Auto Enroll from Wait list stops running

Auto enroll from wait list ends running for each term/session on a date specified per campus. For example, Twin Cities has auto-enroll from wait list run for the last time on the evening of the first day of the session. Following the last run, those classes which still have wait lists 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.

Option 1:

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

Option 2:

On the Enrollment Control tab uncheck the Auto Enroll from Wait List checkbox, which changes the Enrollment Status to “Open” and allows any student to register for the remaining seat(s).

Each department can decide which option is best for their situation. Please let us know if you have questions about this process.
