Wait List Students

The new Waitlist system in Bear Cub Hub is different.

**Students WILL NOT automatically have access to a Canvas course if they are enrolled on the Wait List. Additionally, students WILL NOT be charged for the class if they are on a Wait List for a course.

This is different from the previous process of enrolling and using wait lists. 

Please read the information below on the new process for waitlists. 

Waitlist Policies & Procedures 

  • Waitlist Limits: Students may place themselves on a maximum of 10 waitlists total and 3 sections of the same course (even if they are currently registered for that course). 
  • Prerequisites: You must meet all prerequisites to waitlist, unless currently enrolled in the prerequisite course at SRJC. 
  • Tuition & Fees: You are not charged while on a waitlist. Fees are only applied once you officially register for the class. 
  • Closing Window: Waitlists only function up until 24 hours before the section/CRN starts. After this time, the waitlist becomes inactive. 

Getting Into the Class 

The 24-Hour Rule: If a seat opens, you will be notified via email (and text where possible). You have exactly 24 hours from the notification to enroll. If you miss this window, the seat is offered to the next student. 

After the Class Starts 

Once a class begins, the waitlist is no longer used to automatically offer seats. 

Important: After a class starts, the only way to join is via an Add Code. This applies even if there are empty seats or "no-shows" on the first day. Add Codes are issued at the instructor's sole discretion. 

  • Attendance: If you are still on a waitlist when the class starts, you must attend the first class meeting (or email the instructor for online classes) to request an add code.
  • Manual Cleanup: If you register for one section, you will not be automatically removed from other waitlists for that course. Please remove yourself manually to allow other students a chance to see the instructor.
