Waitlist Information
How to Waitlist for a Course
Important Waitlist Information
The waitlist will run each weekday after 3 PM during registration (excluding holidays). Winners will receive an email from the University Registrar with instructions to claim their seat through MyAccess within 23 hours. Students are responsible to get the necessary restriction approval prior to the expiration of the waitlist notification. After 23 hours, non-responsive students will lose their seats and will forfeit that seats to the next student on the waitlist. Therefore, waitlisted students must check their email at least once per day even throughout the summer.
Note: Faculty reserve the right to drop students from the waitlist if they do not attend class during the add-drop period at the beginning of the term.
Claiming a Waitlist Seat
If you have won a seat off a Waitlist, complete the following to claim your seat.
NOTE: You are not enrolled in the class until you complete these steps.
1. If you are a Winner, click on the Students Tab.
2. Click on the Register for Classes link. Then select the term and click Continue. You will then see your current schedule Summary displayed. To the right of the status of the waitlisted course, select Web Register from the Action drop-down menu.
3. Click Submit.
4. Review your revised current schedule Summary to verify the changes you made are reflected in the Status column.
Please be sure to drop any section you no longer want from the waitlist so that others will be considered in the waitlist process. If you have questions regarding the waitlist, please contact your Registrar’s Office.
Note: If you were on the waitlist (WL) and you did not claim your seat, you may need to wait 24 hours before putting yourself back on the waitlist. In order to expedite this process, log into MyAccess, drop yourself from the WL (which expired), and place yourself on the WL again for that class. Please contact registration@georgetown.edu if you have questions.
Requesting a Class Pass/Fail
Instructions for Requesting a Class Pass/Fail
- Open your web browser and log into MyAccess. The preferred browser is Chrome
- After successfully logging in, click the Student tab.
- Under Registration, click Pass/Fail Course Request.
You have now reached the Pass/Fail request screen which will allow you to request that the grade mode for a section be changed to pass/fail. Information concerning the pass fail can be found on this main page and students are expected to read all the information carefully. Make sure to familiarize yourself with this information before proceeding. Once a student selects a pass fail the decision cannot be reversed.
· To request the grade mode be changed to pass/fail for a section, click the appropriate radio button in the pass/fail request column.
· Read the message about acknowledging your understanding of the pass/fail policy. Students select that they have read the policy and submit.
