Should I Join the Waitlist?
If a course is marked "Full-Waitlist Only", all slots are filled but not all payments are complete. If a student fails to pay, their slot goes to the waitlist in order of registration. A course marked "Full" means all slots are paid for. You can join the waitlist for full courses, but slots become available only if someone cancels, which could be very close to the start date.
