ESTHER Wait-listing

ESTHER Wait-listing became available in Fall 2011, where it was tested on a limited number of courses. In subsequent semesters, a growing number of instructors and academic departments opted to add the ESTHER Wait-listing feature to their courses.

Important Notes:

• Not all courses have this feature, some have voluntarily chosen to add it, and some have not.
• To determine which courses have an ESTHER Wait-list, see the FAQs below.
• A spot on the waitlist does not guarantee a seat in the class.
• In order to wait-list a course, you must meet the pre-requisites and restrictions associated with the course.
• For more information on how ESTHER Wait-Lists will be implemented for Fall 2012, please click here.
