If a class is full, it is possible to be added to the waitlist. The waitlist checkbox option exists as you are adding the class into your shopping cart. You may need to remove the class from the shopping cart, and add it again for the waitlist option to become available. Students on a waitlist are not guaranteed enrollment in the class. 

Faculty will be monitoring the waitlists through the first week of the quarter and will be admitting students based on need or position on the list. Even if there is space available, students will not be added to the class if they have a hold, or adding the class creates a time conflict or an overload. Watch for emails from the Academic Records office asking how to deal with these incompatibilities.

If you have not been contacted or added to the waitlisted class by the first Thursday of the quarter, please drop the waitlisted class from your schedule. You may be automatically removed from any remaining waitlists after the first week of the quarter. Watch for that class again in future quarters. 

Certain classes may require special permission from the department or instructor. These classes will be shown with specific Consent information on the class schedule. To register for these classes, you will be given a permission number by the academic department or instructor. This number will only work for you and for that specific class. 

The permission number must be entered BEFORE the class is added to your shopping cart. You may need to remove the class from your cart, and add it again to be able to enter the permission number.

Permission numbers will only work until the end of the first week of the Quarter. 

Before the end of the first week of class, students can add classes using Highpoint using the Shopping Cart in the Enrollment menu. This will open a search box to find the desired classes.

Adding classes during the first week can be done on your own at any time. Registration opens at 6am on the first day you are allowed to enroll. Have your shopping cart filled so you can save time when registration opens. 

Dropping a class can be done on your own until the end of the first week of classes. Dropping a class during this timeframe provides a 100% tuition refund, and the classes will not show on your transcript.

To drop a class, visit Highpoint and find the Drop Class option in the Enrollment menu. 

See the Withdrawing from Class section if you want to drop a class after the first week.

Most students with a GPA over 3.0 are allowed to take up to 18 credits in a quarter, provided they also have matching credit clearance from Student Financial Services. 

To request an overload (more than 18 credits) in a quarter, add the classes (up to 18 credits) normally for the quarter using the shopping cart. Then add the remaining class or classes with the Change of Registration form found under the Enrollment menu in Highpoint, or on the Forms for Students webpage.

This form is started by clicking the “Add Request” and entering information in the prompts provided. The request is routed automatically to the Instructor(s) and your advisor for approval before returning to the Academic Administration Office for overload approval.

You will be charged a processing fee for the exam, and the exam grade will be included on your transcript as if you took the class.

Class registration will be done automatically after the application is approved and the class graded. 

Classes can be dropped after the first week of the quarter, but after review from the instructor and your advisor.
