Classes may have a waitlist of up to 6 spaces, to be used after they have reached maximum capacity. Before classes begin, waitlisted students are enrolled on a daily basis as seats become available. Students are notified by email (to their UMail address) when they have been moved from a waitlist into a CPE-scheduled class. Students can also check their status (enrolled or waitlisted) by logging into their Student Center in SPIRE.

On the last business day BEFORE classes begin, all students are removed from waitlists, and the waitlists cease to exist. Students can check in SPIRE for a newly-available space in a class, then call the CPE Registration Office at (413)545-3653 to request enrollment. Or, some students can self-enroll on SPIRE into available seats. A student will get a space in the class if it is available AT THE TIME THE REGISTRATION IS PROCESSED by the Registration Office staff.

Another way for students to get into a full class is to receive instructor's written permission. Registration Office staff will honor these requests only when they have BOTH a registration request from the student AND an instructor's written (email acceptable; send to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

CPE waitlist procedures are consistent with those for University-scheduled classes offered during Spring and Fall.
