You should check the websites of individual courses to see whether they have a special policy.

If a student hasn't been attending class, then that lowers the likelihood of being admitted to the course. For example, some instructors will have wait-listed students sign an attendance sheet at lectures, to make sure that students who are on the wait list are also attending class. However, some courses may use a different policy. In all cases, students must have the proper prerequisites for the course.įrom the time classes start until the add/drop deadline, most courses will continue to use this policy. Within the above 3 categories, students are prioritized in the order of their timestamps, that is, according to the date and time that they went on the wait list.

In some cases, higher priority may be accorded to students in a certain year or specialization. Everyone else (and this includes students with self-selected (unapproved) CPSC minors).Students in certain other non-CPSC specializations which require specific CPSC courses.Students in a Computer Science specialization (including majors, combined majors, honours, combined honours, and approved minors), and this includes students in the Cognitive Systems - Computational Intelligence option (this is also a CPSC specialization).What should I do?Īs seats become available, students are moved manually from the wait list into the course by the Computer Science department (not by the registration system) on a priority basis, in the following order: ( Note to fourth-year students who are graduating in May, and require one or more CPSC course(s) for graduation, and are waitlisted for those courses: Please see the last question on this Web page for special instructions.) The CPSC course that I want to register for has only restricted seats available and I do not qualify for those seats. Please note that it may take up to 24 hours to see the registration changes reflected on your SSC record. The department will contact you by e-mail to inform you when you have been moved into a class. Note that you cannot register for a lab or tutorial section until you are off the wait list and in a lecture section.

It is your responsibility to check SSC to confirm if you have been added to the lecture section, and if so, to register yourself in a lab and/or tutorial section (where applicable). You can register on a wait list in the same way that you register for any other course using the online registration system. As space frees up in the course because of students dropping the course, students not having the prerequisites, additional seats becoming available, etc., we will manually move students from the wait list to the lecture section. The wait lists appear on the Course Schedule website (they are the sections whose number contains a 'W'). If there is a wait list for a course that you want and have the prerequisites for, you should register for it right away.
