Georgetown University recently implemented a custom course waitlist solution designed and built by IData. The new waitlist solution provides both the Main Campus and the Law School Registrars the flexibility they need to configure and process waitlist course requests according to the needs of their individual schools. Using the custom waitlist solution, Registrars’ offices can choose to either award waitlist seats based on a student’s rank as defined and used in their custom preregistration system (also designed and built by IData), or by criteria established within Banner’s waitlist configuration settings.

The newly delivered custom SSB forms provide immediate visibility into course waitlist award status and results for both students and faculty. Custom reporting and auditing functionality further streamline the entire waitlist process for students, faculty and Registrar staff.
