Waitlist Information


Is the class you want closed? Get waitlisted.

Taft College has official waitlists for all classes. Login to your Cougar Tracks portal to get waitlisted!

Here's how to do it:

  1. Log in to Cougar Tracks
  2. Click “Registration” under the Student tab.
  3. Click “Add or Drop Classes”
  4. Select Term
  5. At the bottom of the screen, click “Class Search” to search for your desired class
  6. Make sure the class you wish to add shows remaining open seats under the WL Rem column. If there is room on the waitlist, write down the CRN number for the course.
  7. Scroll to the bottom and select “Register”.
  8. Then, on the next screen, enter the CRN number(s) you wrote down.

  11. In the “Action” drop-down menu, choose “Waitlist”, then “Submit Changes” at the bottom of the screen.
  12. If you leave the “Action” drop-down menu as “None”, you will not be waitlisted in the class.
  13. On “Student Detail Schedule”, you will see the course you’ve waitlisted and your “Position” on the waitlist. Note that you will not see the units for the waitlisted class in your unit total until you are actually in the class.

What happens next?

If a seat becomes available in the class, you will be notified with registration instructions via email. Be sure to check your junk/SPAM mailbox! You will have 72 hours from the time the e-mail was sent to register for the class. If you do not register for the class within 72 hours, you will be removed from the waitlist. The waitlist function ends on the day of the first class meeting!
