Online course wait list
A new online course wait list process was introduced on Oct. 31; students are now instructed to visit a listed web address.
The web address is in place of the former message where students had to call “231-591-2340.” The page they are directed to asks if the student is on main campus, online or off-campus. Definitions are next to each for clarity.
If they are an off-campus or online student, they are instructed to call the appropriate office. After the first three weeks of registration, these students will also be sent directly to the form page as the process of filing online courses from the wait list will have begun – any student can now put themselves on the wait list.
The page can be found at www.ferris.edu/online/waitlist. For more information, contact Jennifer Hegenauer at ext. 2502.
