As students are enrolled in courses from the wait list, your wait list number will change.  For example, you are currently number 3 on the course wait list.  When a spot becomes available, the first person on the list will be enrolled in the course.  At that time, your number on the list will change to 2.

Also, you will receive an email to your HCC account if/when you have been added to the course so please check your email often.

  • Be aware, you will NOT be enrolled in the course from the wait list if you are enrolled in another section of the same course.
