Waitlisting

Any student who has a need or desire to be in a specific section of a course, but the section or sections meeting that need are currently closed due to reaching their capacity.

Yes! Any undergraduate or graduate student can use the Waiting. However, a student on Academic Probation can register for waitlisting online if academic navigators have permitted them.

It is not unusual to have many students who wait until after the first payment deadline date to see if non-paying students are de-registered from their courses, thereby opening up space in the course sections. Using this waitlisting process, if students are removed from course sections for non-payment, their spots will be filled by those people on the waitlist.

You may use Registration Portal in MyLeighton or In-Person in the administration building at 107 Stateline Road East, Southaven, MS 38671, to add yourself to a waitlist. If you would like to be added to a waiting list at the Registration counter, fill out the registration form with the information of the closed course section, and the Registration staff will add you to the waiting list.

Students will be able to add themselves to the waitlists up through 5:00 p.m. on the first day of late registration.

On the third day of classes, waitlisting is turned off, and the Office of the Registrar adds permission for individual students to add their classes. The waitlisting roster will be cleared, and the instructor can add any student they wish to their class, considering the assigned course’s capacity.

Students will be moved from the waitlist into the class if space becomes available. There is no guarantee that you will be moved off a waitlist and enrolled in a class. Approximately 1-2 weeks prior to the beginning of classes, the process to move students from the waitlist runs for the final time, then all waitlists are purged. Instructors are not required to add students who were previously on the waitlist.

All tuition follows the same payment schedule, regardless of whether you are automatically registered from a waitlist or you can register directly into the course. For the payment schedule, please see Payment Methods.

By placing your name on the waiting list, you agree that you are financially obligated to pay for that course. If it is before the deadline to drop with a refund, you can go through the procedure to drop the course and receive a refund. If it is beyond that date, you may still withdraw from the course and receive a W, but you are financially responsible for the course. For the current semester drop and withdraw dates, please see the Registration Calendar.

Yes, you can remove yourself via Registration Portal or at registration.
