Is it a common policy at colleges/universities to make students on the waitlist for a class re-register once a space opens for them?
I mean before term, not the situation where a waitlisted student shows up to the first day of class and gets an add code from the instructor. It's a new policy at Foothill, and it seems a bit strange to me. It also seems potentially problematic, since students only have twenty-four hours between the email notification that the space is open and getting dropped from the class entirely, and students on vacation could easily go a week or more without internet access.
