I go to a community college and they allow us to register for classes online. There are ten days left until the school year starts, and I noticed that a whole lot of classes are still closed, and just now these are open for waitlist spots only.
I'm really confused, and I don't think I'm making any sense. These classes aren't really open for registration, but they're open for waitlist spot. Do I need to place myself on the waitlist in order to get a spot in the class, or should I check periodically to see if the class will open up for registration?

A waitlist is a way of managing registration so that when someone drops the class, the next person to get in is not just some random person who happens to check the list at the right time, but the person who tried to register first. Basically, it is a system of first come, first served. So if you are interested in getting into this class, you do need to place yourself on the waitlist. If a waitlist exists, the class will probably not open up for registration again, unless so many people drop the class that the entire waitlist is able to register in the class.

The class has already been open for registration for quite some time, got filled up, and now open for waitlist only. If you really need to take this class, then put yourself on the waitlist, go to class on the first day of class, and see if some spots got available. Many students register for a class and then never show up or drop the class; when they do that their seat becomes available and that is when the instructor lets you to register in their place because you are on the waiting list. Sometimes, there are still no spaces available even after few days of classes. In such case, you need to wait until next semester to register for a class. That's why it is important to register as soon as possible before the classes fill up. The longer you stay in college, the sooner they will allow you to register before anybody else does. The registration is done on the seniority basis. Seniors register first; freshmen last, when everything is already taken.

Registered vs. non Registered: Registration is barely substantial in case you desire to reproduce or teach. it would not remember in case you have papers on a path horse. some human beings desire to have registered horses so as that they are able to confirm what they are getting, yet in the top it has each and every thing to do with what you intend to do along with your horse. Mare vs. Geld: I even have the two and there are downsides to the two. in case you only desire an all around ordinary going horse that is going to be extra "even tempered", flow with a gelding. in case you do no longer concepts the "mare" habit while the pony is available out and in of season then i think of a mare is a much better investment because of the fact she would be bred.
