Faculty
Through UT's online waiting list, students will automatically be added from the waiting list into any available places in your class until (the fourth class day) during fall, spring, and the second class day in the summer. You do not need to sign blue add forms or decide who to let into your class.
You should not be surprised to see new faces in your classes during the first four days of the fall semester. It is incumbent upon a student to contact you and their classmates about missed lectures, handouts, and work from the first class days.
The undergraduate advisor is able to turn the lists on and off, but cannot reorder or prioritize the lists.
RTF students are strongly encouraged to attend the first class meetings of courses for which they're on the waiting list. However, we cannot require them to attend.
YOU WILL STILL NEED BLUE ADD FORMS IN SOME RARE INSTANCES:
• In order to give permission to non-majors and graduate students whom you want to have in your class. Because they are not RTF undergraduates, they cannot get on the waiting list for upper-division RTF courses (except for RTF331Q and 331R).
• In order to give permission to students whom you want to privilege over everyone else who is waiting to get into the class.
• After the fourth class day, at which point you may choose (crucial word = "may") to add more students. If there is space in your class, you are encouraged to accept additional students.
