On a Wait List for a Course? Check your Email Daily!

On WebAdvisor, if you’ve placed your name on a wait list for a course section that is full, please check your “iam.uwinnipeg.ca” email account daily, as this is the way you will be notified if an open seat becomes available.

72 Hours

Upon notification, you will have three (3) days or 72 hours from the date/time stamped on the email to claim your reserved seat before it is offered to the next student on the list.

If you do not claim your reserved seat, you will be automatically dropped off the wait list.  If you wish, you may add yourself back onto the wait list by going into WebAdvisor – but you will be placed at the bottom of the list.

Check Everyday
To avoid disappointment, please check “Manage My Wait List” in WebAdvisor and your U of W “iam.uwinnipeg.ca” email account – every day.

Special Note to Wait Listed Students Given a Course Prerequisite Waiver:
If you have been given a prerequisite waiver from an instructor and subsequently added to the course wait list, and then a seat becomes available, you must go in-person to Student Central so that staff can manually register you into the course.  This has to be done within 72 hours of your email notification.

See Wait Lists for further details.
