MANAGE MY WAITLIST

 

For courses that allow a waiting list, Manage My Waitlist will show you what position you are on the waiting list.  You will also be able to register yourself in the course once a space is available.  If a space is available in a section, you will be sent an email to your Nipissing student email account notifying you of the available space and how much time you have to register in the course.

  1. At any time you may select Manage My Waitlist to see what position you are on a list.
  2. If a space is available in a course, Manage My Waitlist will show the status as “Permission to Register”.  An email will also be sent to your Nipissing student email account to notify you that a space is available.
  3. To register in the course you would select the action ‘Register’.
  4. If you do not wish to remain on a waiting list, go to Manage My Waitlist and select the action ‘Remove’ to remove your name from the waiting list.
