There is never any guarantee, so we recommend having a Plan B in place. We generally say that if the size of the waiting list is ten per cent of the class size or less before classes begin, there is good reason to join it and remain optimistic about getting in to the course by the end of the enrolment period. Remember that you can only waitlist up to 2.0 credits in the Fall/Winter Session. There is almost always a small time period between the close of the waiting lists and the final deadline to add a course. If you check ACORN a lot during that time, and a spot opens up, you can try to register. Persistence may pay off, but again, no guarantees! Graduating students may wish to touch base with an academic counsellor in the Innis College Registrar’s Office to get help considering all available options.
