Waitlists | Department of Biology

When to use a waitlist

Waitlists are only active and employed if needed during Registration, and for a week or so thereafter.
Waitlists will be made available on a course by course basis. Waitlists will open once there are no more seats left in a particular Biology course, and close once all requests have been processed, approximately one week later.
Courses for which some sections are full but other sections have available seats are not considered closed until all seats are full. Only when all seats are full across all sections will a wait list be made available.
BIO 141 and BIO 142 waitlists are maintained by the Nursing Department.
Reserved seats in BIO 171 for KHS students can be accessed by following the procedures outlined by the Chair of the KHS Department.
Please note that adding your name to a waitlist does not guarantee a spot in that course.
You cannot complete a waitlist form until your registration time has arrived.
If you try to register for a course that is full, and the waitlist has not been made available please email biology@tcnj.edu and we will make that form available.
Any questions or extenuating circumstances, please contact the department Chair, Wendy Clement, clementw@tcnj.edu.

Waitlists for Fall 2024 registration period (for Spring 2025 courses):

Waitlists are available for individual courses, with a few exceptions. Waitlists for all 300 and 400 level Biology options courses are included on the same form, and on the form you can indicate which course(s) you are interested in. The forms will be made available once a majority of seats in 300- and 400-level courses have been filled.
