Waitlisted Classes (Requesting a Seat)

All requests to add a student to the roster of a course must be approved by that course's Associate Dean. For courses in CAS, the Associate Dean (currently Dr. Tim Welsh, twelsh@loyno.edu) will consider requests to add a student after confirming approval from the following parties: 

  • Course Instructor: The teacher of the course section must agree to adding the student, with the awareness that it may cause their roster to exceed the stated course cap.
  • Academic Advisor: The student's advisor must confirm that it is absolutely necessary for the student's academic progress to take this course at this time, and there are no viable alternatives available or future opportunities.
  • Department Chair: The department chair must affirm that adding the student beyond the established course cap will not adversely affect the learning environment for all students or violate departmental policies.

The student is responsible for collecting approval signatures from all three parties (instructor, advisor, chair) and submitting the below form to the appropriate Associate Dean via email: Please note that all requests to add a student to courses outside of the College of Arts and Sciences should be directed toward the Associate Dean of the college to which the course belongs. 

College of Arts and Sciences courses, Dr. Tim Welsh, twelsh@loyno.edu

College of Business courses, Dr. Kathy Barnett, kbarnett@loyno.edu

College of Music and Media courses, Dr. Alice Clark, avclark@loyno.edu

This comprehensive approach aims to maintain an efficient and equitable process while upholding the integrity of the academic programs. Cooperation and adherence to these processes are greatly appreciated.
