Enrollment and Waitlist

This page covers enrollment through the waitlist at /learn/enroll: what you see on the page, what happens when you submit the form, why enrollment starts with a waitlist, and what to do if the form fails or you hear nothing back.

What you see

Every enrollment button in the Learning Center leads to /learn/enroll. The page states that enrollment is opening soon, explains that your customer account will also be your learner account, and presents the waitlist form: one email field and one submit button. Links below the form return you to the course catalog at /learn or to the shop.

Joining the waitlist

1. Go to /learn/enroll, or select an enrollment button on any program detail page.
2. Enter an email address you read regularly. This address is how admissions will reach you.
3. Submit the form.
4. Look for the success message on the page: "You're on the waitlist: we'll let you know when enrollment opens."

What happens when you submit

1. Your email address is checked. An address in an invalid format is rejected, and the form shows an error so you can correct it and try again.
2. Duplicates are removed. If the same email address is already on the waitlist, no second record is created, and you see the same success message.
3. Your signup is recorded for admissions follow-up. A new signup is recorded as a waitlist lead, so follow-up runs through the same process admissions uses for other inquiries.
4. Admissions works the list when a cohort opens. The waitlist is a notification list, not a numbered queue. There is no position number to check.

Why enrollment starts with a waitlist

Enrollment into a cohort requires a start date, a seat count, assigned instructors, tuition handling, and classroom access. The waitlist collects the one thing needed first: the names of people who want to enroll: so admissions can open cohorts to those people first. When enrollment opens, your learner record, cohort assignment, and classroom access are created from your existing customer account; see Learner Account and Sign-In.

If something goes wrong

• The form shows "Something went wrong: please try again." A network or server problem prevented the signup from being recorded. Your email address was not saved; submit the form again.
• You signed up twice. No action is needed. Duplicate signups are removed automatically and do not affect your place.
• You signed up and have heard nothing. The waitlist is worked when a cohort opens, not on a fixed schedule. If a long time has passed, contact admissions through the address below rather than signing up again.
