Waitlist Enhancements

• Updated Waitlist Interface- A more detailed overview will be provided at the December meeting.
  • Additional fields have been added to the Waitlist panel in Offerings Planner including: Classification and Overall Earned Hours.
  • Waitlists are now easier to prioritize.  Academic Departmental Administrators click "Edit Priorities", adjust priority counts, and hit "Update Priorities"!
  • Users also have the ability to email all students on a waitlist.  This feature is similar the email class list feature.
• Update to Registration Process- A recent change was made where if a course has related sections (such as lab, discussions, with lecture) prior to a waitlist offer being sent, restrictions are checked to be sure the student qualifies.  For instance, if a lecture is not an Honors section but the waitlist available seat is in a discussion section with an Honors restriction a non-Honors student will not be offered a seat in that section.

Please keep in mind restrictions are still checked upon initial adds to a waitlist.  The change affects when a restriction might have been added to the course section after the waitlist was in place or in related sections with restrictions.

All textbook and resource orders should be finalized in MAUI by Early Registration (November 5), but in no event later than four weeks prior to the start of the semester in which the textbook is to be used by students.

November 6, 2018 - January 20, 2019 the Fall 2019 Course Offerings Planner will be closed to editing.  The Planner is always open for instructor, textbook, descriptions, requirements, recommendations, restrictions, registration information editing, updating waitlist plans, and updating syllabus information.
