What is a course waitlist?
A course waitlist lets you reserve a place in a full course. You will not take the course until a spot opens and you confirm it. The waitlist is useful if you need a specific course for your program and want to be ready if a seat becomes available. You do not pay extra to be on the waitlist, and you are not officially enrolled until a seat opens.
How to join a waitlist
- Log in to myWrenford with your student credentials.
- Go to the Registration tab and select the term you want to take the course in.
- Search for your course using the course code or name.
- Click the Waitlist button next to the course section. If the button is greyed out, you may have a time conflict or a missing prerequisite.
- Review your schedule summary and click Submit to finish.
You will see a message confirming your position on the waitlist. Your place in line stays the same unless you drop the waitlist or a spot opens.
When a spot opens
If a student drops the course, an open seat will appear. The system will send an email to your Wrenford Polytechnic address. You will have 24 hours to confirm the seat. If you confirm it in myWrenford, the course is added to your schedule and your tuition is updated. If you do not confirm within 24 hours, the seat goes to the next person on the waitlist.
Removing yourself from the waitlist
You can leave the waitlist at any time. Log in to myWrenford, go to your registration summary, and click Drop Waitlist. You will no longer receive notifications for that course.
Fees and deadlines
There is no fee to join or stay on a course waitlist. However, you are responsible for paying your tuition and fees by the term due date. If you are moved from the waitlist into a course, your tuition balance will update. You must pay on time to avoid a late fee or being removed from your classes.
Waitlists close at the end of the add/drop period. For the fall term, the last day to drop a course without academic penalty is November 6, 2026. After this date, you cannot move from a waitlist into a course.
Who to contact
