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 3:

Click the Action button next to your desired CRN (Course Reference Number), select “Wait Listed”, then click Submit.

Step 4:

Once successfully waitlisted, the course status will update to “Waitlisted”. To verify your waitlist status, click here for instructions on how to confirm your class schedule.  

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 5 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 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.

Step 6:

Follow Steps 1-5 on How to Register for Classes. Select “None” underneath the action column for your desired CRN and click on “Registered-Web”. Then click “Submit”.

Step 7:

If you have successfully registered, the status of the course will now state “Registered”.
