Q40: When a vacancy becomes available, how does the auto-top up process take place?

When a vacancy becomes available, students on the subject waitlist will be registered automatically corresponding to your position on the waitlist. The system will execute the following validation checks before the actual subject registration takes place.

  1. Your study load would not exceed 21 credits after adding the waitlisted subject, unless you have been granted to take extra credits by the programme offering department
  1. You have fulfilled pre-requisite/co-requisite/subject exclusion/PS exclusion requirements of the waitlisted subject, if any
  1. You do not have approved credit transfer or exemption of the waitlisted subject or have not registered/passed the subject in current and previous semesters
  1. The waitlisted subject is time-clash free with your registered subject(s)
An email notification will be sent to you upon successful registration of a waitlisted subject.

# If you cannot pass these validation checks, the system will bypass your waitlist request and move to the student next to your waitlist position in the queue, and so on until the vacancy is filled up. Nevertheless, please be reminded that waitlisting is not a guarantee of enrolment into a class.
