Wait Lists

Wait Lists BEFORE Classes Begin

If a class is full, a student can choose to go on a wait list. Wait lists are available only until a class begins. If, while on a wait list, a seat becomes available, the student will be officially added to the class by the Admissions, Registration and Records Office; therefore, the student is responsible for knowing his / her position on the wait list or class list. Being added to a class from a wait list will affect the student’s financial account and the student is responsible for any additional tuition and / or fees.

Students should check their wait list or class list status via the portal (MyMHCC) or they may also call 503-491-7393 or stop by the Admissions, Registration and Records Office in the Student Services Center.

Students will not be added to a class from a wait list if it creates a schedule conflict or if the student is already registered in another section of the same class. If on multiple wait lists for the same class, the student will be added to the first opening and dropped from all other wait lists. Students will also not be added to a class from a wait list if the student has a financial hold.

If students no longer want to be on a wait list, they need to drop the wait list class via MyMHCC or notify the Admissions, Registration and Records Office in the Student Services Center.

Wait Lists AFTER Classes Begin

After the term begins, wait listed students will be officially added to classes as seats become available up until the day before the first day of the class. Every attempt will be made to notify students prior to the first class meeting. However, students should check their wait list or class list status via the portal (MyMHCC) for the most current status. The student is responsible for knowing his / her position on the wait list. Being added to a class from a wait list will affect the student’s financial account and the student is responsible for any additional tuition and / or fees.

After the class has met, all students, including wait listed students, must obtain the instructor’s permission (via an add slip, email, or other documentation) to add the class. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure the approved add is processed through the Admissions, Registration and Records Office.

Students whose names do not appear on the instructor’s class list are not officially registered and will not receive credit or grades
