Instructions for Accepting a Waitlist Seat

Instructions for Accepting a Waitlist Seat

Waitlist Lotteries will run each weekday (excluding holidays) at 4PM ET as seats become available.  See Registration Timeline. If you win a waitlist seat, you will receive notification from BANWAITLIST@georgetown.edu and you must claim your seat in MyAccess by the 23-hour claim deadline provided in the email. Non-responsive students will lose their seat and will forfeit that seat to the next student on the waitlist.

  1. To claim a winning seat(s), go to the ‘Add or Drop Courses’ page on the registration menu and choose ‘Web Register’ from the action menu and click ‘Submit Changes’.
  2. If you have successfully accepted your winning waitlist seat, this course will now appear in your current schedule with a status of “Registered.” If you fail to claim your waitlist seat via MyAccess before the claim deadline, you must re-add yourself to the waitlist following the directions provided in How to Add/Drop/Waitlist Courses.
