OASIS Wait List Feature

NOTE: The wait list feature is only available during the first week of a fall or spring term during the change period.

Students who are seeking entrance into closed courses must use the OASIS registration program and place themselves on the wait list for the closed course. The following steps outline the procedure for wait listing a course:

• Sign on to the OASIS registration program. Use computers in the lab if you do not have a personal computer.
• Use the ADD command to try to add the course you wish to take. If the course is closed, you will get a message to this effect.
• Use the WAIT command to place yourself on a wait list. Example:>WAIT EDUC 3110 01

You must always use the command "WAIT" followed by the course subject area, course number and section, then press the enter key.

• Note the day and time the wait list entry will expire. Students must check their status on a wait list within a twenty-four hour period or the student will no longer remain on the wait list.
• Use the UPDATE command to check your wait list status. Example:>UPDATE EDUC 3110 01

If you have not been conditionally enrolled, every time you use the update command you are given a new twenty-four hour period to remain on the wait list.

• If you UPDATE and are given a message that you are conditionally enrolled, you will be asked if you wish to enroll in the course at this time.

If you still wish to be in the course, answer the question affirmatively. Press enter and you will be enrolled.

• To take yourself off a waitlist use the REMOVE command. Example:>REMOVE EDUC 3110 01

You may need to use the REMOVE command if you are waitlisted in a section other than the one you are trying to add. Otherwise, the system will not let you add a different open section.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1.  Departments and faculty will periodically check the wait lists. If you have not followed the wait list procedure, your chances of getting into closed courses are greatly diminished.

2. Wait lists end the day before the end of the official change period. The last day of the change period is on a "first-come, first-served" basis. Many classes will open up on the last day but it is best to be prepared with an alternate plan if you aren't registered for a full course load. Students may not add classes the last day of the change period. A grade of "W" will also be assigned for all courses dropped after the published date for the end of the change period

3. The staff in the Peabody Registrar's Office cannot register you for closed courses.

4. If an instructor states that they will put you in their closed course, check to make sure this is done on OASIS before the Change Period ends. You may wish to e-mail the instructor as to the status of your enrollment in the class if you are not showing registered on OASIS by early morning on the last day to add a course.
