If you are seeking access to a closed course, please add yourself to the course waitlist.

If a space in the course becomes available, the next student on the waitlist will receive an email notification from the Registrar regarding the open space.

Waitlisting does not guarantee registration in the course. It does, however, allow you to closely monitor you position on the waitlist.

For more information about the waitlist, please see below:

Waitlisting — Questions & Answers

▸

What is waitlisting?

Waitlisting allows you to place yourself on a waitlist for a closed class, monitor your position on the waitlist and, when a space becomes available, register yourself in the class. All pre-requisites must still be met and there must be no time conflicts.

▸

What classes will have waitlisting available?

Most courses will have waitlists available. For those that do not have a waitlist, you may contact the offering department for more information.

▸

How will I know if a class has waitlisting available?

Using the Banner Self-Service Course Search, find your desired course and view the sections being offered. In this view, there are columns showing the Waitlist Capacity (WL Cap), Waitlist Actual (WL Act) and Waitlist Remaining (WL Rem).

▸

How do I place myself on a waitlist for a closed class?

At your designated registration time, log in to Banner Self Service.
Click "Registration" and then click "Add or Drop Classes."
Enter the CRN of the course and click "Submit Changes".
If the class is full and waitlisting is available you will see a Registration Add Error like "Closed - 0 Waitlisted" (or 1, 2, etc.).
From the drop-down menu select the action "Waitlist" and click "Submit Changes".

As long as the waitlist has not reached capacity, you will be placed on the waitlist.

▸

Can I place myself on the waitlist for two sections of the same course?

No — you can only be registered or waitlisted for one section of a class.

▸

Can I register in one section of a course and then place myself on the waitlist of a more desirable section?

No — you can only be registered or waitlisted for one section of a class.

▸

How do I get registered in the class?

If a space becomes available and you are at the top of the waitlist, an email will automatically be sent to your njit.edu email. The email will state a space is available and that you have 72 hours to log into Pipeline and register for the class. If you do not register within 72 hours, the system will drop you from the waitlist and notify the next student. Monitor your email closely (including nights, weekends, and holidays) if you are on a waitlist.

▸

What if I miss the email and the 72 hour deadline?

You are dropped from the waitlist if you miss the deadline. You may place yourself back on the waitlist.

▸

Do waitlisted classes count toward full-time/part-time status?

No — waitlisted courses do not count toward full-time/part-time status. If you receive financial aid, make sure you are fully registered (not waitlisted) for the number of credits required for your award.

▸

What happens if no spaces open and I'm still on the waitlist?

Prior to the start of the semester, waitlists are deleted. At that time you may register for the course if space is available. Placing yourself on a waitlist does not guarantee registration in the class.
