Class Wait List

The Texas A&M University course registration system (i.e., Howdy) handles most student needs to add courses; however, if a needed course is full, the appropriate department wait list system may be used by students to submit requests for enrollment in courses with an ACCT course prefix.  There is a “no forcing” policy for all Business Honors classes. Wait list requests for courses offered by other departments (e.g. MGMT, FINC, KINE) are handled by the respective department.

Students should not contact ACCT professors with a request to be forced into a course!

WAIT LIST REQUEST POLICY

  1. Submitting a wait list request does not guarantee a seat in a class. We approve enrollment from the wait list based on need (if and where space permits).
  2. The following issues are NOT appropriate considerations for wait list requests:
    • Section changes:  If you are enrolled in a section, you are holding a seat that could be available to another student. Please drop your section in order to be considered for another.
    • A more convenient class day/time:  We understand that not everyone enjoys Friday and 8:00 am classes, but early (or late) classes throughout the week are a necessity of the university environment.
    • Preference for a specific instructor
  3. If any class already on your schedule conflicts with the one you are requesting, advisors WILL NOT consider enrolling you into the requested class unless you instruct us to drop the conflicting class in our waitlist form.
  4. Priority consideration is given as outlined below.
      1. Graduating seniors
      2.  Courses needed for degree progress
      3. Work schedule conflicts:.
        • You may qualify for a higher class wait list priority if you document the conflict with a signed letter or email from your supervisor. Please have your supervisor include contact information in the letter or email. You can send this documentation to ppa@mays.tamu.edu.
        • While we understand the reality that many students must work during their university career, the Accounting Department expects that academic courses will remain the top priority for students. Work schedule considerations are the lowest priority consideration for forced and will only be granted when space permits.
