<p>If I choose to waitlist a class (I would hopefully be number 1 or 2 if I do it right away), will it automatically go on my schedule if someone drops it and a spot opens up? Or do I have to wait until the waitlist check-in after classes start?</p>
<p>You basically have to stalk your waitlist check-in (on testudo). It will tell you when a spot has opened up. Then you can sign up for the class you want. </p>
<p>Sometimes people drop before classes start so you might have a spot earlier. GL</p>
<p>There’s also a start date (usually right before the semester does) where you have to check in every day OR you will be dropped from the waitlist. As CR notes, you can stalk your waitlist now and watch as you move up (if you’re not already #1). Just keep an eye on it and respond promptly when you’re notified that you’ve cleared the waitlist. Good luck.</p>
