Banner Waitlisting 100
 Software process that provides the potential opportunity for a
student to register for a class that has currently met enrollment
goals.
 If a waitlist is enabled for a class and the maximum number of
regular seats are taken, additional students may be added to this
list in anticipation of a regular seat being made available.
 When a student is added to the waitlist, they are prioritized
automatically based on eligibility rules created by the college.
 A seats becomes available and notifications are sent to a
waitlisted student(s) when…
 A regular seat held by a student is dropped; and/or
 Regular seating capacity is increased administratively. Seating is
controlled to ensure waitlist prioritization occurs and students cannot
“line jump”

What error checking should be
performed to ensure a student is actually
eligible for the seat they want to waitlist.
Which courses can be included in waitlist
processing. If you leave it blank, all courses are
included.
This example shows that students studying
Marketing, Sport Management, and Economics
will get priority on the waitlist over those who are
non-majors in these areas.
What automated prioritization rules
should be applied to class being
waitlisted?
Each class can have controls for
inclusion and web display.
HP 202 has no regular seats available,
and 15 waitlist slots. There are 3 on the
list at this moment.

Dr. Wilson reviews waitlist
HP 202 had 3 students on the waitlist.
Bradley was automatically prioritized higher than Rana
Reagan as she is a ECON major, and he is a SPRT major.
This list can be altered manually by changing the
WAITLIST PRIORITY number for a student.
Here Bradley has been MANUALLY moved to
priority #1 by an authorized user. Note the Waitlist
Origin. The waitlist will be activated when a seat
becomes available in the class – drop, increase of
seats.
Merriam drops the CRN #10863 that she was
registered for. This automatically the waitlist
notification process.
Bradley is sent an email notification that the seat is
now available and this is logged on his record
along with his expiration date/time.
Student Perspective: Bradley Mesa
Bradley receives the email notification
and logs in to register for the waitlisted
course.
Bradley’s registration status is immediately
reflected on the waitlist notification query page in
Banner.
