WAITLISTS

If a class reaches maximum capacity, you will have the option to join a waitlist at the time of registration. If open spots become available in a waitlisted course, waitlisted students will be contacted to register in order of when they were added to the waitlist. If enough students join the waitlist, GoggleWorks will try to add an additional class or workshop.
