More information about waitlists can be found on this webpage: Registrar Waitlist Priority Once classes have begun, CICS is in total control of which students, if any, will be moved from a waitlist into newly-opened seats in classes. If you are on a waitlist and there is a time conflict in your schedule, you may be removed from the waitlist without notice if your position number on the waitlist prevents others with no time conflicts to register.


You will never move from the waitlist to enrolled if the move would cause a time conflict in your schedule, if you are fully registered into another section of the same course, or if you are already registered for the maximum number of credits in your unit limit! A position on a waitlist indicates a possibility, not a promise. You will be assigned a position number on the waitlist, but departments and instructors may exercise their own judgment in altering positions on the waitlist. If you see that a course is full, add yourself to the SPIRE waitlist if one exists. Some courses will offer automated waitlists through SPIRE while others will not.
#UMASS SPIRE REGISTRATION#
Your registration is successful if you are enrolled in the course or added to the SPIRE Waitlist, so keep trying if you meet prereqs/eligibility restrictions. BEFORE requesting an override, try to enroll on SPIRE. Students not meeting prerequisites and/or not meeting eligibility cannot enroll on SPIRE, even if the course is open. If the course is FULL, then keep trying to enroll (Do NOT request overrides). GOAL: Eligible students enroll themselves, either directly into the course or add to the SPIRE Waitlist. DO NOT ASSUME THAT THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM IN A COURSE. SPIRE EnrollmentĮnrollment numbers on SPIRE do not always reflect the true picture while we are managing override requests. Not all requests result in enrollment, which depends on the course and whether there are available seats. The College of Information and Computer Sciences only allows students who have met the stated prerequisite(s) and who meet the eligibility requirements to enroll in our courses, subject to available seats.Īn override request is essentially a petition for special permission to enroll.
