When a spot becomes available in a course, the first person on the waitlist is sent an email to their UWinnipeg Webmail account notifying them that they have three days to claim the reserved seat by registering in the course. This process continues after classes have started so, if you are still on a waitlist for your preferred course section, you should continue to check your webmail account daily for permission to register off of the waitlist.

Professors will not be handing out permission slips anymore.

If a space becomes available during thecourse add/drop period, you will receive an email letting you know that you can register throughWebAdvisor. TheDrop Waitlistbutton will have changed to aRegisterbutton. Register immediately (or drop yourself from that waitlist usingManage My Waitlist).

Only students registered in a course onWebAdvisorwill have access to the course materials and/or (recorded) lectures on Nexus. Students waitlisted for a course will NOT have Nexus access to it.Nexusaccess will be given on the next business day after registering.

Being a waitlist for a course does not guarantee that you will be given permission to register. Students are only admitted from the waitlist if there is space available in the course before the end of the add/drop period.

For winter term, the last day to register in a regularly-scheduled winter term 2022 course is January 19, 2022. The waitlist will run for the last time on January 19, 2022 and students who receive permission on January 19, 2022 will only have that day to register.

Consider whether it is advisable to register in the course for which you have received permission. How far into the course is it? Do you have the time and ability to catch up? Did you miss any potential marks already?
