Georgetown University Registrar | Waitlist Instructions

Waitlist Instructions

Using Access+, students may add to a course (if it is open) or drop a course. If the course is closed, students may join a waitlist for it. When space becomes available in a course with a waitlist, a waitlist lottery will run each night during Registration Add/Drop to determine who has won the space. Preference is given to waitlisted seniors, majors, and those whom the professor identifies as regularly attending class. Winners will receive an email from the University Registrar with instructions to claim spaces through Access+ within 24 hours. After 24 hours, non-responsive students will lose their space.

Join a waitlist
Enter the course number and select “Waitlist this Course.”  You will receive one of the following messages:

  • Waitlist - If you are waitlisted, the course will be added to your schedule at the bottom of the screen with 'waitlist' written beside the course. 
  • No online waitlist - The course does not use an online waitlist or the course is open. Contact the instructor for an alternate waitlist procedure.
Drop from a waitlist
Enter the course number and select “Drop this course/Remove me from the waitlist for this course.” 

Faculty members reserve the right to reject waitlist winners who have not attended classes or otherwise communicated with the faculty member.
