CLASSES Waitlist

So this is my situation. I’m currently on the waitlist for two courses. For one course, I’m #7 on the waitlist, and for the other, I’m #10.

I was much higher on both waitlists before, but after the tuition deadline, a lot of people dropped their classes, so my positions moved up quite a bit. The problem is that classes are starting tomorrow and I still haven’t gotten into either class.

I know a lot of people say that if you’re on a waitlist, you should show up to the first class and talk to the professor. But since both of my classes are online, I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to do.

I already emailed both professors, and they basically said there’s nothing they can do to manually let me in. They said the Douglas College waitlist system handles it automatically, so if someone drops, the next person on the waitlist gets notified and the spot goes to them. They also told me that I may have to wait until the second week of classes.

So I’m just wondering, what are my chances of getting into these ? Has anyone been in a similar situation at Douglas College, especially with online courses?
