WAITLIST INFORMATION

If a class is full, but has a waitlist, you can add yourself to the waitlist and as seats open up, students on the waitlist will be automatically enrolled. *When you add yourself to the waitlist, you are given a position number. Students are enrolled in open seats based on their position number. The lower your number is on the waitlist, the greater your opportunity is to be enrolled in the class.

How to ENROLL yourself to the WAIT LIST

» CLICK ENROLL AFTER ACCESSING STUDENT CENTER FROM MYGCC.
ENTER TICKET NUMBER

»CHECK “WAIT LIST IF CLASS IS FULL”
CLICK NEXT

»CLICK THE “PROCEED TO STEP 2 OF 3” BUTTON

»CLICK THE “FINISH ENROLLING” BUTTON
Now the class has been successfully added and the message indicates position on the waitlist.

»CLICK ON THE “MY CLASS SCHEDULE” TAB TO SEE THE RESULTS

When you go back to your Student Center, you will notice that the class does not appear because you are not actually enrolled in any class. Being on the wait list does not mean you are enrolled.

WAITLIST IMPORTANT NOTICE

Classes and wait list (enrollment from the wait list) will officially close at 11:59 p.m. on the Sunday before the class is scheduled to begin. If you would like to add a closed class, attend the first day of the class to obtain a permission number from the instructor OR email the Instructor if it is an online class. Use the GCC Directory to do a search for your instructor's contact information. IF you are given a permission number, you will then need to log back into your student portal–MyGCC and officially add the class using the permission number.

How to use a PERMISSION CODE to ENROLL

»ENTER THE TICKET NUMBER FOR THE CLASS YOU HAVE PERMISSION FOR (CLASS NUMBER), AND CLICK THE “ENTER” BUTTON.

Here you will see the “Permission Nbr” box, where you will enter the number given by your
instructor. Once you have inputted that number in the box, click the “Next” button.

»CLICK ON “PROCEED TO STEP 2 OF 3” BUTTON

»CLICK ON “FINISH ENROLLING” BUTTON

You have successfully added the class. Click on the “my class schedule” tab to see results.
This shows that you are now enrolled. You are not on the wait list anymore.

What is the advantage of enrolling to a waitlist?

How many classes can I waitlist for?

Can I waitlist in more than one section of the same class?

I was in position number 1 on a waitlist, why wasn’t I enrolled when a seat opened?

The requirements to be moved off of a waitlist are the same as standard enrollment:

You will not be enrolled from the waitlist if you are already enrolled in another section of the same class.
You will not be enrolled in a class if it conflicts in meeting times with another class in which you are enrolled.
You will not be enrolled in more units than permitted in the term.
You will not be enrolled if you have not met the prerequisites for that class.
You will not be enrolled if you have any registration holds, i.e. Financial, Library, PE etc.

Can I take myself off of a waitlist?

What is the first day I can get on a waitlist?

Once I am on the waitlist, how do I get into the class?

If seats become available and you meet all of the requirements, you will be added automatically to the class based on your waitlist position number. If you are successfully enrolled from the waitlist, you will see the change in your “My Schedule” in your Student Center. You will be sent an email to
your college issued email address notifying you that you have been moved into the enrolled status.

Can I waitlist for a class that conflicts in meeting times with a class that I’m already enrolled in?

Where can I find my waitlist position number?

What if I decide that I no longer want to take a class that I have waitlisted?

What happens if I am added to a class from a waitlist after I have paid fees for other classes that I enrolled in?

If I am already enrolled in NelNet payment plan, how might enrolling in an additional class via the waitlist impact my payment plan?

If I have Financial Aid, how will adding a class to my schedule from the waitlist impact my aid?

The enrollment fees will be waived as long as you have been awarded the California College Promise Grant (CCPG) (formerly the BOG Fee Waiver). If you are automatically enrolled through the waitlist process, the enrollment will be complete prior to the last day to add a class and your Financial Aid awards will be adjusted accordingly. However, if you are given a “permission number”, you must add the course online prior to the last day to add a class or your Financial Aid will not be adjusted. We suggest that you contact the Financial Aid office if your units increase or decrease any time during the term.
