WAIT LIST INSTRUCTIONS
for HDFS, AGED and other HCD courses

Please read carefully and follow the steps below to be added to the wait list for a course.

  • Wait lists for HDFS, AGED AGCM, HCD and RSOC classes will be opened at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, November 23.  At that time, if you have been unable to register for a class because it is full, reserved or restricted, please send an e-mail message to hcd-general@ad.uiuc.edu. Your e-mail message must originate from your UIUC e-mail account (student@illinois.edu). 
  • Messages that arrive before November 23 or from non "illinois.edu" e-mail accounts (yahoo, gmail, etc.) will be automatically discarded.  You will not be added to a wait list if you send your request prior to November 23 or from any account other than your UIUC account.
  • The subject line of your request must say “Wait list for HDFS XXX”, "Wait list for AGED XXX" , etc. Do not include the quotation marks in your subject line, and replace the three X’s with the number of the course you are interested in. If the course has multiple discussion (or lecture-discussion) sections, include the section designator of the discussion section you’re interested in. Example: Wait list for HDFS 105, section ADC. The subject line should include no additional information or punctuation. If you misspell or incorrectly punctuate your subject line, your request will be automatically discarded; note that "wait list" is two words, and that a course's subject and number are separated by a space (e.g., HDFS 105, not HDFS105).
  • Include in the body of your message your full name, UIN, e-mail address, major, and class (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior or grad student). Your message should include no additional information.
  • Only one course request will be allowed per e-mail message.  For courses requiring multiple CRNs -- e.g., for a lecture and for a discussion section, as in HDFS 105, HDFS 120, and HDFS 220 -- submit your request for the discussion section only. If you wish to be on the wait list for more than one discussion section of HDFS 105, HDFS 120 or HDFS 220, you must submit a separate request for each section.
  • We are not able to acknowledge any wait list requests, whether submitted correctly or incorrectly. So please be sure your request is formatted correctly according to the instructions above. You will not receive any acknowledgement that your request has been received, or that its subject line was incorrect. Please do not request confirmation that your message was correctly submitted.
  • Incorrectly submitted requests, or requests received before the start date published above, will be discarded, unanswered and unacknowledged.
  • We will not provide information regarding your position on the wait list.  Additional messages received from you once you have received the notification that you were successfully added to the wait list will be discarded, unanswered and unacknowledged.
  • According to the policy of our department, the ONLY requests that we will honor are those e-mailed to hcd-general@ad.uiuc.edu.  No other forms of communication (in person, via telephone, e-mail to instructors or staff, etc.) for a spot on a wait list will be honored.
  • If a place in a class becomes available for you, you will receive an e-mail message from hcd-general@ad.uiuc.edu with specific instructions for adding the class to your schedule. Do not attend the class unless you have successfully added it to your schedule.
  • Wait lists will be maintained until the official deadline to add classes. After the deadline, all wait lists will be purged. If you have not received instructions for registering for the course you requested, there is no place available for you in the course. No acknowledgement will be sent to any names remaining on wait lists when the deadline to add classes has passed.
  • If at any time after you have added your name to the wait list you decide you no longer desire a place in the class, please send a message to hcd-general@ad.uiuc.edu, asking that your name be removed.

PLEASE NOTE:

Placing your name on a wait list does not guarantee you a place in a course. Please do not attend any HDFS, AGED, AGCM, HCD or RSOC course until you have successfully added the course to your schedule.
