How Does a Student Register for a Class once a Seat Becomes Available

Previous Next

Once a seat becomes available, an E-mail notification will be sent to the student on top of the priority queue (to the ‘Preferred E-mail Address’). The E-mail will state that the student is now eligible to register for the class and the deadline to complete the registration. A sample E-mail notification follows:

Dear <FIRST_NAME> <LAST_NAME>,

You have placed yourself on a waitlist for BUS 290 001, (CRN: 10877) for the 2020 Winter term. A seat is now available in this course. You can register online using UR Self-Service or request assistance from your faculty or department office. Please note that you have to complete your registration before 5-Dec-2019 12:49 PM. This deadline is determined based on the following practice. Until the first day of classes, the notification is valid for 24 hours. For the Fall and Winter terms, from 10:00 a.m. on the first day of classes until the waitlists are deleted, the notification is only valid for 12 hours. If you miss the deadline, you will automatically be removed from the waitlist. You will NOT receive a notification of this action.

For the Fall and Winter terms, waitlists will be deleted at 11:59 p.m. on the seventh calendar day after classes begin. Calendar days include weekends and holidays. If the seventh day falls on a weekend or a holiday, waitlists will be deleted at 11:59 p.m. on the following business day. For the Spring/Summer term, there are four waitlist deletion dates (one each for Parts of Term 1, 3, 5 and 7 - see the Academic Schedule online for more details).

If you receive a waitlist notification on the day when waitlists will be deleted, you will only have until midnight that night to get registered. After midnight, registration will be on a first-come, first serve basis.

For more information, please read the Student Waitlist Instructions.

Please DO NOT reply to this message. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Registration Waitlist process, please contact your faculty or department office at the University of Regina.

Sincerely,
University of Regina
Regina, Saskatchewan
Canada S4S 0A2

 

The student can then log into UR Self-Service and choose to register for that class or request assistance from the academic office within the deadline. 

To register for the class:

  1. Use the drop down list in the Action column beside the desired class and select Registered in Self-Service.
    • If you are registering for a class requiring an additional component, such as a lab, be sure to find the CRN of the corresponding component that now has an available seat.  Enter the CRN in the Add Classes Worksheet.
    • Note: Do not drop the waitlisted class unless you no longer wish to register for this class.
