Manage waitlisted and auditing students
Instructors can add auditing or waitlisted students to a course site through the Course Management page in Online Tools (MyPage).
How do I know which students are waitlisted/auditing in Brightspace?
In Brightspace, waitlisted / auditing status is provided for instructors in the classlist
Can waitlisted/auditing students fully participate? Waitlisted and auditing students have all the same options to participate in a course as other learners except they cannot join self-enrollment groups.
Do I need to remove waistlisted students after the add/drop date? Waitlisted / auditing status is updated (to the minute) with the student registration system. Students will automatically be removed when the waitlist closes or they drop the course or if the instructor disables ‘waitlisting/auditing’ access in MyPage.
