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 your 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. Look for the Waitlist Capacity (WL Cap), Waitlist Actual (WL Act), and Waitlist Remaining (WL Rem) columns.
▸ How do I place myself on a waitlist for a closed class?
  1. Log in to Banner Self Service at your designated registration time.
  2. Click “Registration” and then “Add or Drop Classes.”
  3. Enter the CRN and click “Submit Changes.”
  4. If the class is full, select “Waitlist” from the action menu.
  5. 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 and waitlist another?
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 first on the waitlist, an email will be sent to your njit.edu address. You will have 72 hours to register. If you miss the deadline, you will be removed from the waitlist.
▸ What if I miss the email and deadline?
You will be dropped from the waitlist and may place yourself back on it if space remains.
▸ Do waitlisted classes count toward full-time or part-time status?
No — waitlisted courses do not count toward full-time or part-time enrollment.
▸ What happens if no spaces open?
Prior to the start of the semester, waitlists are deleted. Being on a waitlist does not guarantee registration.
