Waitlisting for Classes

Note: Do not use these directions if you want to swap a currently enrolled class for a waitlisted class, if it should become available.  Instead use the How to Swap an enrolled class with a waitlist class instructions.

From the university website, www.utdallas.edu, click on the Galaxy link.

Go to https://www.utdallas.edu/galaxy/, click on “Orion” and log in with your NetID and password.

In your UTD Student Center, select the “Manage My Classes” Tile.

Select “Schedule Planner.”

Click the “Open Schedule Planner” button.

Schedule Planner will open in a new browser window.
You may need to allow pop-ups on your internet browser.
Select the term for which you want to register and click save and continue.

If you want to include waitlisted classes in the schedule you select, check the course status in the filters at the top of the page.  Make sure it set to Open & Full w/Waitlist Open. If not click on the Change button and change it to that.

When you generate schedules and are selecting the one you want.  If you pick one where there are no seats open, you can try to waitlist for that class.  It will also display how many students are currently on the waitlist for the class and how many additional waitlist seats are available.

When you click send to shopping cart, you will get prompted to check the “Wait List?” box for the class.
