Resolved: Spring 2021 Waitlist Issues (Targeted Message; Version B)
Dear [first],
Thank you for your patience while we worked to resolve the waitlist cancellation error from Tuesday, Jan. 19.
At this time, all incorrectly canceled class waitlists have been restored and waitlisting is now available; however, you need to set up drop if enrolled again (see below).
Review Your Schedule
Log in to to view your schedule and classes. In grid view, waitlisted classes are shaded black; in list view, they're shaded yellow and labeled "Waitlisted."
If you were enrolled into your waitlisted class(es) after this error occurred, we did not move you back to the waitlist. You're still enrolled in the class.
We made every effort to ensure you were returned to the waitlist position you were in on Tuesday morning. However, if you believe your position is incorrect or that we missed one of your classes, please email registrar@colorado.edu for assistance.
To remove yourself from the waitlist, drop the class.
Step 2: Re-establish Drop If Enrolled
Although we've added you back to the canceled waitlist(s), we weren't able to automatically restore your drop-if-enrolled settings.
- If you're still on the waitlist, follow our instructions to re-establish drop if enrolled.
- If you've already been enrolled, you'll need to drop your backup class manually. The no-penalty drop deadline for full-semester Main Campus classes is 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 2.
What Happens Next
If a seat becomes available in your waitlisted class:
- Between now and 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 25, the next eligible waitlisted student will be enrolled automatically and will receive an email confirmation within 24 hours.
- Between Jan. 26 and Feb. 3, contact the department offering the class to see if their policies allow them to enroll you manually.
On Thursday, Feb. 4, waitlists are canceled. If you still aren't enrolled, you'll lose access to the class's online materials and be removed from the class roster. However, you may be eligible to use course reservation the next time that course is offered.
