Waitlist

If the class you’re interested in is already full but you meet the prerequisites, you can opt to be waitlisted for it. If you haven’t been added to the class by the start of the quarter, it means there was no available space. Keep track of your waitlist status so you can make necessary changes to your schedule and pay for any added courses.

How does the waitlist work?

  • Waitlist opens automatically when a class fills.
  • Add yourself to the waitlist by clicking the “Add to Waitlist” prompt when the class you want is full.
  • The Waitlist closes the night before the quarter begins.
  • If you are already enrolled in another section of the same course, you cannot add yourself to the waitlist.

Checking Your Waitlist Status

You will be placed in the class as soon as an opening occurs.

  1. Use the ctcLink Student Portal to verify your waitlist status.
  2. Click ‘Show Waitlisted Classes’ on the ‘View My Classes’ tab of the ctcLink Student Portal.
    • Your waitlisted class will appear on the screen.
    • Click ‘Show Enrolled Classes’ to see a display of courses you are enrolled in.
  3. If you are not added to the class before the class starts, see the Over-Enrollment instructions in the section directly below this one.

Financial Aid:  If you are receiving Financial Aid, your waitlisted class does not count toward your required credits until you are actually enrolled in the course. Financial Aid will only pay once you are enrolled in the correct minimum number of credits.

Over-Enrollment on the First Day of Class

If a class is full, you may:

  1. Attend the class on the first day of the class.
  2. If your instructor agrees, forward your instructor’s email or signed Add/Drop form to registration@highline.edu
  3. Pre-requisites must be met before you can add yourself to a waitlist.

Remove Yourself From a Waitlist

To check your waitlist status and remove yourself from it, please access the ctcLink Student Portal.
