Class Roster, Waitlist & Registration

You may view the enrollment in your course through the Faculty Center (via NYU Home). For instructions on accessing the Faculty Center, please visit our Faculty Center  help page.

• To obtain your class roster, scroll down to the course in which you would like to see your roster and click on “Class roster.”

• To view your class roster with photos, please click the link to “Class Roster with Photos.”

• If your course is crosslisted between Sociology and another NYU department (or if it has multiple sections), you can view a combined roster by selecting the box called “view combined section.”  This box is located above the roster and to the right of the enrollment status box.

Visit the NYU Class Roster page for additional help.

If you do not see your course, you may need to select a different semester.  Please use the “change term” bottom in the middle of the page to select another semester.

If you are unable to print out your full class roster, you may need to change your internet browser.  Please note that some internet browsers work better than others; in particular Safari works best for MAC users, while PC users should avoid Google Chrome.

When the course enrollment limit is reached, students may have the option of putting their names on an electronic waitlist (most Sociology courses have electronic waitlists, though not all NYU schools and departments offer electronic waitlists). If a registered student drops the course, the first student on the waitlist is automatically enrolled in his or her place, providing this student has set up a SWAP course (this is the course they would be willing to drop in the event a place opens in the waitlisted course). The electronic waitlist remains active until the end of the second week of classes.

During the first week of classes, your class roster may fluctuate as registered students drop the course and waitlisted students move onto the class roster. You should also anticipate that some waitlisted students will attend the first class meeting and ask for your permission to register. While it is impossible to predict whether or not openings may become available, we would advise you to encourage students who are lower on the waitlist to look for another course.

To view your waitlist, go to your class roster, and in the “Enrollment Status” box, select “Waiting” from the drop-down menu.

Students begin registering for courses as follows:

For fall and spring semester registration, undergraduate students are assigned appointment times to register. Appointments are scheduled during the first five days of registration, and they are assigned on the basis of accumulated credits (including attempted hours). Those with the highest number of credits register first and those with the fewest credits register last. All graduate students are permitted to register on the first day of fall and spring semester registration.

By the end of the second week of registration, instructors generally have a good sense of their course enrollment. You should anticipate that your enrollment will continue to increase somewhat since newly admitted students typically register later than continuing students.
