Electronic Waitlist
The electronic waitlist feature allows students from an established waitlist to be moved into a class when seats are available. It is a true first-come, first-serve system. Students trying to register for classes that are closed will be able to select waitlist. During the weeks prior to the start of classes, when vacancies occur in classes, the first student(s) on the waitlist will be moved into the class.
Students should note that it is IMPORTANT when accepting a waitlist course to click submit twice, otherwise your class will not be saved. You can go to the following links for assistance: https://banweb.kccd.edu/stuhelp/kwswait.htm or http://online2.bakersfieldcollege.edu/sea/banner/waitlist/
Helpful hints to assist you in using the features of waitlist:
Students will not be charged the enrollment fees for waitlist classes until they are actually enrolled (moved) into the class.
Students should check your registration/waitlist regularly to ensure that fees are paid within ten (10) days from the date you are moved into a course.
Students who have been placed on the waitlist MUST attend the first meeting of the class or they will be dropped from the waitlist.
Courses for which students are waitlisted will appear on their schedules with a registration status of “WL”. When the student is moved into the class, the registration status will change to “RE”.
Students will not be able to register for one section of a class and get on the waitlist for another section nor can they register for one class and get on the waitlist for another class at the same time.
Students may drop themselves from the waitlist at anytime.
Waitlist classes will count into the 19 total units that students may enroll in each semester.
The prerequisite, basic skills, time conflict, and repeat checks will prevent ineligible students from getting on a waitlist just as they prevent students from registering for the classes.
You will be forwarded an email at the time you are moved into the class; therefore it is important that you keep your email address current in BanWeb or with the Admissions and Records Office.
