There are three common reasons why students on the waitlist are not automatically enrolled:
- The Auto Enroll from Waitlist process has not run yet.
- If you increase the number of seats OR a student drops from the class leaving a seat available (that has a waitlist with students waiting), the Auto Enroll from Waitlist process will run overnight.
- The student was justifiably not enrolled for a reason, and they received an email as to why they could not be enrolled.
- Those emails to students are available, per term, on the UM Waitlist Email History page (Records and Enrollment > Term Processing Waitlist > UM Waitlist Email History).
- The “Auto Enroll from Waitlist” checkbox on the class section is NOT checked.
- If this box is unchecked, the Auto Enroll from Waitlist process will NOT run for that section. Instead, the class will look open for any student to enroll, even if there are students sitting on the waitlist.
