On the waitlist for classes...

Hi babs4u,

When you are the wait list it means that you are not in the class yet. Usually you have to show up on the first day of class (unless it is an online class, then you usually have to get added on by emailing the instructor. Every school is different) and if the instructor has room they will start adding students depending on your waitlist #. Example: #1 gets added first, then #2, and so on. And as far as "TBA", it stands for "to be announced". This may mean that there is a specific time the instructor wants you to be online, but I'm not really sure. At my school, online classes usually don't have a specific time, just a specific date that assignments and tests are due. Hope this helps and good luck!!

Hi,

No, I think you are fine as long as you sent them the form to add you. Sometimes it takes a while for them to add you but you should email them if they haven't added you by the first day of the semester.

For me, I have always waited until I have started the class before I buy my books, only because I have had some instructors tell me they don't require a textbook for their class. Also, I don't know about your college, but my college's bookstore will not allow you to buy the textbook unless you are enrolled in the class.

I looked at bakersfield college, which I am only assuming that is where you are attending. It states that nurs B100 is a Strategies for Success in a Nursing Program course. I'm not sure but it looks like to me that it is a recommended course, not a required course. If it states credit/no credit, that means that you will not receive a grade on the transcript for this class, you either pass or fail. Hope this helps

Hi,

Maybe just take it just in case since they are telling you two different things. Better to be safe than sorry
Since it is credit/no credit, it probably won't be a hard course.

I wouldn't buy any books until you are officially added to the class.
