The University of Hawai’i uses electronic waitlisting so you can conveniently waitlist for a class that has already reached its maximum enrollment. Please know that being on a waitlist does not guarantee registration in a class.聽If you are next on the waitlist and a seat in the class becomes available, a notification is automatically sent to your UH email address (<东精影业username>@hawaii.edu). You also have the option to forward the notification as a text message to your mobile phone.聽 This feature is especially convenient for time-sensitive emails like waitlist notifications since there is a 24-hour window given to register for the class. If you do not register within that 24-hour window, the seat is no longer available to you and the next student on the list is notified of the open seat.
All 10 UH institutions offer waitlisting for most classes in both the fall and spring semesters; however, only select campuses offer waitlisting in the summer. 聽It is your responsibility to check your email regularly and verify that your email address is correct.聽The waitlist feature ends the day before the semester officially begins. As of the first day of the semester through the late registration period, students may register directly into the class should a a seat become available.
***聽 聽WARNING聽 聽***Normal text messaging rules and carrier fees may apply. Students are solely responsible for these fees if they decide to use their text message service. The University of Hawai鈥榠 is not responsible for the text messaging service and is therefore not liable in the unlikely event a carrier drops your message before it arrives on your mobile device. Due to its length, the registration notification message may arrive on your mobile phone truncated or as multiple text messages, so please consider this if you do not have an unlimited text messaging plan. |
