Waitlisting a Course in Summer Session

Waitlists at UC San Diego are automated. When a seat becomes available in a course, the next eligible person on the waitlist will be automatically enrolled. Please check your UC San Diego email and WebReg for class enrollment status.

If you no longer want to be enrolled in a waitlisted class, you must drop the waitlisted class prior to the refund deadline to avoid being responsible for the tuition and fees.

Students are responsible for monitoring the waitlist status via WebReg. Students will continue to be automatically enrolled from the waitlist through the second week of the session and will be charged tuition once enrolled.  Please check your UC San Diego email and WebReg for class enrollment status updates.

*Please note, most waitlisted courses will automatically enroll the next eligible person, however some departments monitor the waitlist. Please check with the department directly if you have questions about this process.
