Accepting an Open Seat for a Waitlisted Class is Easy! |
Here's How! Students will have the ability to use their mobile device (cell phone, tablet, laptop) to be notified of and accept a newly-opened seat they're waitlisted for. Then students can log into MySite to register for the class using the APC number they've been sent. Notification will be via email, unless you opt-in for text messages and provide your cell phone number.
(See 3rd question under "Notifications" in the "CLICK HERE" link below.)
If a class is already full, what should I do? Be sure to put yourself on the waitlist, an option that will pop up on your screen when you're prompted that the class is full. Instructors will only add students to classes IF they are on the on the waitlist.
CLICK HERE for the WAITLIST GUIDE that will answer all your questions!

WE GET ASKED...
Why are There Class Caps on Online Courses?
|
|
- First and foremost, online class quality and integrity are closely-monitored by the State of California for the purpose of accreditation standards.
- Online classes are not "static." Students don't just view classes. They email their instructors with questions, requests, clarifications, etc. and the instructors email them back. The more students enrolled in a class, the more email communication time is required of an instructor.
- Instructors' time must be a balance of research, creation of class content, class preparation, teaching the class, maintaining email communications with students, as well as a large number of administrative duties. Thus, class caps are necessary to maintain the quality and integrity of all classes, including online classes.
- Class caps for online classes are essential in providing enrolled students the first-rate learning experience that the Emeritus Institute delivers.
These are just some of the reasons class caps are vital
to the online learning experience!

From All of Us at the Emeritus Institute to YOU...
We're excited to offer a wide array of online courses that are
mental-stimulating, academically rigorous, health improving, socially engaging,
