Some departments may decide to centralize waitlist management, but in many cases the instructor of the course has full responsibility. Only the instructor may authorize any further enrollments in a closed course. A course remains closed as long as there are more names on the waitlist than openings available. If there are fewer names on the waitlist than openings, the course reopens and is available to students on demand until it closes again. Waitlists are removed from the system prior to the opening of the semester.
Openings are then available on a first come, first serve basis.
Only students who have obtained the signature of the instructor on the Adviser Approval Form will be permitted to enroll for a closed class. The academy is no exception. What follows is a brief summary of the forms most commonly used by advisers and advisees. The appendix to this manual contains samples of each of these forms. This is a two-part form.
