# How to Add Student in Waitlist
### **Waitlist:**
The Waitlist is used to manage enrollment when a course instance reaches its maximum student limit. Any additional users attempting to join are placed on the waitlist to maintain an organized queue. Once an existing student completes the course instance or a seat becomes vacant, the students from the waitlist can then be enrolled into the active session.
### **How to Add Student in waitlist:**
- Students are placed in the **waitlist** only when the **Maximum Student** Limit of a course instance has been **reached.**
- You can set the **maximum number** of students for a course instance in the **Edit tab.**

- Once the enrollment page opens, click the Enroll Student button.
- Find the student you wish to add, click the arrow icon next to their name, fill in the required enrollment details, and click the green tick (✔).
- Since the class is at full capacity, an **"Enrollment Limit" window** will appear with **three options:**
- **Over Enroll:** This option moves the student from the waitlist to the enrolled list. This means that when a seat becomes available in the class, the student becomes part of the active enrollment.
- **Add To Waitlist:** This option adds the student to the waiting list. The student remains on the waitlist and is not automatically added to the active class enrollment.
- **Skip Enrolment:** This option cancels the process completely and discards any enrollment information that has been entered.
- To proceed with the waitlist, select the **Add To Waitlist option** and click the **Submit** button. The student will now be **successfully moved** to the waitlist **queue**.
- To finalize their enrollment later, navigate to the **Waitlist tab** and select the specific student from the list.
- Go to the **"With selected users..."** dropdown menu at the **bottom** of the page.
- Select **Over Enroll** from the dropdown and click **Submit** to move the student from the waitlist into the **active** **class enrollment list.**
- Alternatively, you can select **Remove** from the dropdown and click **Submit** if you want to **delete** the student from the waiting queue entirely.
- After clicking **Submit** for the **Over Enroll** action, a **confirmation** message will appear. Click **Yes** to complete the process.
- The student will now be **successfully** moved from the **waitlist** and added to the **Currently Enrolled list** of the **course instance.**
