Step 5:

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 is available and in the order they have been 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 6 Registering from the Waitlist (scroll below), or contact Admissions and Records (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 into the class until they have completed the registration process to be added to the roster through self-registration or through Admissions and Records.  

Step 6: Registering from the Waitlist

Follow Steps 1-6 on How to Register for Classes and click on the “Wait Listed” button for your desired course.

If you have successfully waitlisted, a message will appear stating, “You have been successfully registered for the following courses,” followed by a list of the courses and the note “Class successfully updated.” Click “OK” to confirm.
