FOR WAITLIST-ONLY ROUND BIDDING:</b></u></font><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>
<ul>
<li>Bids placed in Round II toward waitlists take priority over bids
placed for these same waitlists during the Waitlist-Only
Round. <font color="#FF0000"><b> YOU CANNOT ENHANCE AN
ALREADY-HELD WAITLIST POSITION DURING THE WAITLIST-ONLY
ROUND.</b></font> <b> If you drop that waitlist position, your
new waitlist bid will be lower on the list.</b>
<li>Waitlists are based upon the same criteria as bidding for classes:
levels of prioritization and points bid.
<li>There is no guarantee that seats will become available or that an
instructor will use a waitlist.
<li>You now have 1000 points with which to bid during the
Waitlist-Only Round.
<li>You may bid toward waitlists even if you have reached your credit
limit with roster positions.
<li>Waitlist-Only Round bids are resolved simultaneously at the end of
the round.
<li>If you drop a Round II waitlist position, you will not get any
points refunded.
<li>You are unable to drop roster positions (successful bids) during
this round. You can drop classes on Registration Day.
<li>You are unable to bid for open classes (i.e., classes that did not
fill during Rounds I and II) during this round. Open courses may be
added on Registration Day.<b>
<li>Do NOT write waitlist positions onto your registration form!</b>
If you receive a seat in a waitlisted class you will be notified via
email during the first week of class and will need to submit an
instructor-signed Add Form.
<li>Bid for non-credit classes,<b> 15.443 and 15.549</b> during this
round.</ul>
