Wait list for classes should automatically add you
If you sign up for a class and are put on the wait list you should be automatically added when the spot opens up. Currently you have 24hrs to logon and add the class. This is a terrible policy especially over summer break! I missed adding a class by an hour in the middle of summer. After questioning the policy I was informed that some people didn't realize they were added to a class and ended up getting an F in the class.
Penalizing the people with lives outside of school, for the stupid ones, is not the way to create a better society.
We brought this up in USG and it seems the majority of people favor the 24 hour policy and think that it is fair. We’d rather not risk anyone getting an F unknowingly, even if it was a mistake they made. People make mistakes, we don’t want to see students ruining their GPA because of it. If you know you are on a waitlist for a class, check your email.
Love,
USG
