FTVM Course Waitlist Policy

Department of Film, Television, and Media (FTVM) Waitlist Policy:

DURING REGISTRATION

• During the Registration period, students are automatically issued overrides as seats become available
• An override is not a guaranteed seat. The student must register for the course via Wolverine Access
• Overrides expire after one business day (unless otherwise noted)
• If the permission to enroll is not used within this timeframe, the next student on the waitlist will receive a permission.
• Students still on the waitlist may receive permission to register from the instructor if they are willing to increase class capacity

AFTER CLASSES BEGIN

• One week after classes begin, students who wish to obtain an override must get permission from the instructor of the course.
• The Department of Film, Television, and Media (FTVM) majors will be given preference on the waitlist over non-FTVM students.
• Waitlist priority will be at the discretion of the instructor.
• If a student does not use the class permission before it expires, the next student chosen by the instructor will be given permission.

It is critical that students attend classes from the beginning of the term. The department may drop a student from a course if the student does not attend the first course meeting. If a student plans to miss the first course meeting, arrangements must be APPROVED by the instructor in ADVANCE.
