Academic Scheduling » Demand Tracking (Raincheck)

Policy

When a student attempts to register for a course that is full, they may request to be put on a raincheck list. Departments use these lists to monitor enrollment demands for certain classes; this provides the department with up-to-date information on class sizes and demands for registration. It helps them adjust seats offered and plan for the next semester or term.

Receiving a raincheck does not guarantee that the class will be added to a student’s schedule!

Departments may request a course record be flagged by the Academic Scheduling Office. In some instances, the department will approve students on raincheck lists to add courses when seats or new sections are added. Approved students are flagged so that they can add the course. (Any student without the flag will not be allowed to add the class.)

Responsibility

It is the responsibility of the student to request a raincheck when the class is full. The student must monitor the course on AIM, or with the department to determine if or when seats are added for registration.

The department is responsible to monitor their raincheck lists to make decisions as to future class sizes and availabilities. They may also decide to allow students to add the class by adding seats or sections, or by flagging students to add online. Departments may email selected students on the list inviting them to register.
