Waitlists
- HSCE students may add themselves to a class waitlist when the course section is closed
due to section capacity.
- If a seat becomes available in that course, the next student on the waitlist will
automatically be enrolled and notified via their RCCD Student Email when they are
moved into the class.
- Students not automatically added can attend the first class meeting with a HSCE Add
Card (on-site classes) or email the instructor (online classes) to request to be added
to the course.
- If granted approval, an authorization code will be issued by the instructor in order
to add the course via WebAdvisor. If the 3 HSCE limit has been reached, students will
be required to obtain the instructor’s authorization signature on the High School
Concurrent Enrollment Add Card (available in Admissions and Records) before adding
the course in-person at Admissions and Records.
- If a signature rather than an authorization code is obtained, the class must be added
in person at Admissions and Records.
- Students can determine their waitlist status by clicking on Manage My Waitlist in WebAdvisor.
