JSOM Course Waitlist

Add your name to the JSOM Course Waitlist in case a space becomes available.

When a course reaches its enrollment capacity, we are unable to register additional students in the closed section. However, you can add your name to the JSOM Course Waitlist in case a space becomes available. Please review the guidelines listed below before joining a JSOM Course Waitlist.

JSOM Waitlist Guidelines

  • JSOM Course Waitlist does not guarantee registration.
  • If a spot opens up in the section:
    • The system will automatically register the student at the top of the waitlist as long as there are no holds (registration blocks) and the student is not already enrolled in the same course different section.
