Waitlist a Class

How to Waitlist a Class

If you waitlist a class and a spot becomes available, you will be automatically enrolled. Once enrolled from the waitlist, you are financially responsible for the class's tuition and fees.

If you no longer wish to take the class, you must drop it before the last day to drop with a tuition refund or change to audit (the census date) as listed in the Academic Calendar. Failing to drop the class before the census date will result in you being required to pay the tuition and fees.

  1. Login to myNOVA and then select SIS.
  2. Click on Class Enrollment.

  3. Click on Class Search & Enroll.
  4. On the left filters, enable ‘Include Wait Listed Classes’.
  5. Search for your class. Not all classes have a wait list option.
  6. If a class is full and has a wait list option, you can wait list it. Click Enroll or Add to Cart.

  7. Follow the prompts until you reach step 2. Select Add to waitlist if class is full. Click Accept.


  8. Select Enroll and then click Next.
  9. Click Submit and then confirm.
  10. If the class is full, you will be placed in the wait list.

Note:  You will not be notified automatically that you have been moved from the wait list to the class, so you must monitor your schedule every morning.
