Course Wait Lists
Many courses at Hennepin Technical College have a wait list option when a course is full. You can add yourself a course wait list in eServices with the wait list button on the current course schedule.
Seats that open up are offered to students in the order they are placed on the waitlist.
You will be notified through your Hennepin Tech student (my.HennepinTech) email address if a seat in the course becomes available. Once you get an offer of an open seat, you must log into eServices within 24 hours to register for that spot.
It is possible to be on multiple wait lists for the same course (different sections).
Course wait list will be turned off the Friday morning before the term begins.
In order for a student to be placed on the wait list, the student must have an active student email account.
Please activate your my.HennepinTech email account if you have not already done so. To set up an email account, please refer to the Email Setup webpage.
Open Seat Offers
- Make sure you are monitoring your @my.hennepintech.edu email. All wait list notifications will be sent via email and will include changes in position, offer of an open seat, and removal from the wait list. You can also monitor the waitlist status by checking your eServices account, under Courses and Registration →Review My Plan.
- Open seat offers expire after exactly 24 hours (the expiration time will be noted in your email)
- Being offered a seat does not guarantee you are eligible to take the course. Prerequisites will be screened when you attempt registration for an open seat
- By accepting the offer and registering, you are accepting all financial obligations.
- If you do not accept the offer within the specified time frame, you will automatically be removed from the wait list.
Why am I getting a Co-Requisite error?
For cohort-based programs that require more than one course, such as Automotive Technology, HVAC, Carpentry, Plumbing, Construction Electrician, Medium Heavy Truck Technology, the waitlist for each program can be set up using just one course. This course has the Waitlist icon activated and typically the first course listed in the Semester Sequence in the Course Catalog.
To enroll in programs that require more than one course
- Log into eServices
- Find the “Quick Add” registration option under “Courses and Registration”
- Add the six-digit course IDs of ALL required courses for the program, including the wait-listed course.
- Click on the Register button at the bottom of the list to register
