How to Waitlist Steps
Step 1:
Follow the Steps 1 through 10 on the “How to Register Steps” listed above.
Step 2:
If a class is full but has a waitlist, you’ll see a message that says: “Closed – # Waitlisted”. The number shown indicates how many students are currently on the waitlist.

Step 4:
Once successfully waitlisted, the course status will update to “Waitlisted”. To verify your waitlist status, please click the following link for instructions on how to confirm your class schedule on mobile.
Students added to the waitlist are not guaranteed enrollment into any class and must meet all registration requirements. Waitlisted students are accepted into a class as space becomes available, in the order they were placed on the waitlist.
If a seat becomes available, students on the waitlist will be notified by an automated e-mail (noreply@nocccd.edu). The student must register by the 24-hour deadline indicated in the notification, which begins when the email is sent. The student will be dropped from the waitlist if the deadline is missed.
Follow Step 5 Registering from the Waitlist (scroll below), or contact Admissions and Records at (714) 808-4679 or starhelp@noce.edu for registration assistance.
- Online Classes: The waitlist process is only valid through the end of the first week of the class.
- In-person Classes: The waitlist process is only valid through the day of the first class meeting.
Only officially registered students may attend class. A waitlisted student is not officially registered in the class until they complete the registration process to be added to the roster, either through self-registration or Admissions and Records.
Step 5: Registering from the Waitlist
If a seat becomes available, you will receive an email stating that you are now eligible to register. You will have 24 hours from the time of receiving the email to register for this course.
