Waitlists ( WL)

The waitlist (WL) functionality helps students access in-demand course sections equitably and transparently.

Note: Waitlists for courses offered in Fall 2025 and Winter 2026 will open on select course sections on the following dates:

• Upper-level courses (2nd year courses and higher): the afternoon of May 30, 2025 or later

• Please email the undergradadvisor.acb [at] mcgill.ca (ACB program advisor) for assistance

ACB students trying to register for courses in other departments:

• If you're having difficulty registering for a required course, you can contact the department offering the course for assistance (i.e. for BIOL 200, contact the Dept. of Biology; for PHGY 209, contact the Dept. of Physiology, etc.).
• Refer to the list of departmental contacts so that you're contacting the right person/unit.
• Please note that in most departments, registration permits are only given for required  courses, not for electives or complementary courses.

Non-ACB students trying to register in ANAT courses:

• If the course is required for your program, please email the undergradadvisor.acb [at] mcgill.ca (ACB program advisor) for assistance
• If the course is a complementary or elective and you're receiving a "Reserve Closed" error message, that means that all the spaces for students in other programs are currently full.  You'll need to keep checking Minerva regularly and throughout the Add/Drop period to see if space opens up. 

**We are not able to give registration permits for complementary or elective courses (this includes ANAT 321)**
