New Policy for Wait-Listed Students
Foothill College now uses an automated program that will move you from wait-listed status to enrolled status. The program will move the first wait-listed student into the class if an opening occurs. Here is a brief explanation of the process:
- If an opening becomes available, the number one wait-listed student will be enrolled into the available seat.
- You will be removed from the wait list for that class.
- If you have email addresses on file in the Foothill Admissions & Records Office, you will be sent an email to inform you that you have been added to the course and must now pay the enrollment fee for the course. You will be dropped from the class if you fail to pay all fees;
- If you do not have a email addresses on file in the Foothill Admissions & Records Office, the college will mail a letter to the street address that is currently on file. The letter will inform you that you have been added to the course and must now pay the enrollment fee for the course. You will be dropped from the class if you fail to pay all fees;
- You have five days from the date of the email message/letter to pay for the course into which you have been added. You will be dropped from the class. if payment is not posted by the fifth day as indicated on the email message/letter;
- If you are a wait-listed student and do not receive notification via email or letter, we recommend that you attend the first class meeting for possible enrollment as determined by the instructor. If the instructor authorizes you to add the course, complete the add-a-class process online and pay the enrollment fee for the course you have added.
- You are responsible to ensure that we have a current mailing address and e-mail address on file.
