Best days to check = Mondays and Thursdays

We will run the wait list processing program every Monday and Thursday morning and any seats that become available will be identified on these days. These are the best days to check your UW Webmail to see if a seat has become available for you!

72 Hours To Claim Your Seat

Upon notification, you will have three (3) days or 72 hours from the date/time stamped on the email to claim your reserved seat before it is offered to the next student on the list. If you do not claim it, you will be automatically dropped off the wait list. Don’t be dis-appointed — claim your seat right away!

Make it a habit: check Webmail daily!

Get into the routine of checking your UW Webmail email account every day. All emails about registration, wait lists, course changes, new labs/lectures, and cancelled courses will be sent to your UW Webmail email account.
