Interest Lists

Interest lists are a way for students to indicate their interest in enrolling in an undergraduate Marshall course. They will not open unless all sections of a course are full. Students are expected to make current open sections work with their schedule and should NOT wait to add to an interest list. Interest lists are not a guarantee of a seat and are not an automatic waitlist. 

Priority is given to students who are graduating. Students can add their name to an interest list for a course where all sections are closed. Please read the FAQs below for further instructions.

 

 

What are interest lists?

Students can indicate their interest in enrolling in Marshall courses that are completely closed throughout all sections. Students on the list will be notified in advance should new sections or seats be added. 

Students should continue to monitor Web Reg because there is no guarantee of a seat. Students should clear all holds, have no time conflicts, and be enrolled in 16 units or less to be added to an interest list. 

Priority is given to students who are graduating. Students can add their name to an interest list for a course where all sections are closed starting on Thursday, April 17th.
