Add/Drop
NEW PROCEDURE: ADD WEEK
All Add Day registration is handled through the Department's Undergraduate Program Assistant.
To add a class, students should check availability on CAESAR. Should openings be available, students may enroll online throughout Add week unless a waitlist has been established. If this should occur, see waitlist procedures:
The wait list is created on the Thursday AFTER a course closes during advanced registration week. The order in which a student adds his/her name to the list carries no preference for admission to the class. Signing the list simply makes a student eligible for enrollment should openings occur.
Students considering the 395 waitlist should contact the Department's Undergraduate Program Assistant for consent.
The Political Science department wait lists are now online. To add your name to a wait list, please follow the following steps:
- Log onto CAESAR and search for "All classes" (not just "open" classes)
- Find the class for which you want to wait and go through the registration process
- When you try to register; CAESAR should give you a message with the class number, etc., with a box marked "Ok to Waitlist?"
- Click on the box
Please note: The Political Science wait list is used by the department for purposes of class expansion only. If this should occur, students on the wait list will be notified by e-mail. Otherwise, after adding their names to the wait lists, students are encouraged to continue to watch CAESAR in case someone drops the course. If a drop occurs online, students may add the course online during both registration and add weeks.
For classes requiring permission to register, contact the Department's Undergraduate Program Assistant at bj-gordon@northwestern.edu.
