Current Waitlist
• Available to Computer Science
Department
• Developed by Dr. Irwin Levinstein
2/23/14 Lookmai Rattana 11

Simple Process
• Student enlisted on the waitlist
• System checks for open seat
• Student is given 24 hours to response
• System enrolls student into the class
2/23/14 Lookmai Rattana 12

POTENTIAL
• Useful to the rest of the university
• Helps simplify the enrollment process
ISSUES
• A student not on the list can enroll before the student can respond
• Visibility of the list

2/23/14 Nicholas LoGioco 35

Problems with Solution
• System failure
• Time issues with classes
• Do we have a max waitlist cap
