<p>I tried to ask the registrar’s office about this but they didn’t understand my question and kept misinterpreting it. So I guess I’ll just ask it here if anybody knows the answer.
When a class has a waitlist, but somebody who’s enrolled drops the class, that spot is open until the waitlist is processed (which happens 5 times throughout the day). But before the waitlist is processed to move the #1 person on the waitlist into the class, I want to know if it is possible for someone who’s not on the waitlist, to enroll in the class without being put on the waitlist since technically there is a spot open before the waitlist is processed. Does anybody know?</p>
<p>There was an issue with this I think last quarter. They say they resolved it, but I did this last quarter. There were 4 or so people on the waitlist, someone dropped, and I just unwaitlisted myself enrolled into the course. </p>
<p>Just try and do it.</p>
<p>I’ll try it but it seems risky because if it doesn’t work then I lose my spot on the waitlist.</p>
