Undergraduate Courses
Waitlists
Waitlists in the Department of Spanish & Portuguese are prioritized in one of two ways:
- For Spanish 101-311 and Portuguese 101-202 and 301, space in waitlisted classes is offered strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.
- For all other Spanish and Portuguese undergraduate courses, waitlists are prioritized by academic level.
We do not give out waitlist position information to students.
We offer space to waitlisted students through the Add Deadline at the end of the second week of classes. Students will be notified via wisc.edu email. If a waitlisted student does not receive an email notifying them of space availability on or before that date, it means we are unable to offer them a space for that term.
If a waitlisted student is offered a space and does not enroll before the deadline detailed in the notification email, they will be removed from the waitlist and the space will be offered to the next student in line. Students may place themselves back on the waitlist but will have lost their previous priority.
Students are able to add themselves to waitlists for multiple standalone sections of the same course and/or can be both enrolled in one standalone section and waitlisted for one or more others. Spanish 101-204, 226, 311 and most of our major- and certificate-level courses are examples of courses with standalone sections.
Students can only be on the waitlist for one discussion section of Spanish 222, 223, 224, and 225.
Waitlisted students should check their wisc.edu email daily after 9:00am.
Enrollment Blocks
Enrollment blocks are placed on a number of Spanish courses during the academic year:
-
- Spanish 325 and all 400-level Spanish courses are blocked to enrollment by declared Spanish majors only through junior registration.
- Spanish 329 and 359 are blocked to enrollment by students with a declared Certificate in Business Spanish Studies only through sophomore registration.
Any course with an enrollment block will have the date and time that block will be removed listed in the section Class Notes in Course Search & Enroll. After the enrollment block is removed, anyone with the course prerequisite(s) may enroll.
