📋 ALE Using the Waitlist Feature V2

The waitlist feature can track class interest and help Registrars fill seats as they become available.  Registrars and Parents will be the primary users of this feature. 

Enable Waitlist Feature for Parents 

Before parents can start using the waitlist feature, it must be activated by setting Allow Parent Access to Waitlist to True. 

1. In the Program Manager Role, select Settings in the left navigation menu. 
2. Click the Row Action and Options gear, then select Edit for Allow Parent Access to Waitlist.

3. Set Allow Parent Access to Waitlist to True and click Update to save the change. 
4. The same steps apply to turn off Parent access to the waitlist feature by setting Parent access to False instead of True. 

Checking Which Students are on a Class Waitlist

You can view all students waitlisted in a class using the Ale Class Students table. 

1. Select the Registrar, Certificated Teacher, or Program Manager Role. 
2. Click Courses/Classes in the left navigation menu, then choose All Classes. 
3. Click the name of the class you want to manage the waitlist for. This will open the Manage Class page.  

4. Click the Students Tab at the top of the page.  
5. You should now see the ALE Class Students Table. By default, this table lists six (6) columns: Student, Grade Level, Status Request Priority, Waitlist Position, and Added to Waitlist. The table will automatically filter to enrolled and waitlisted students. If a student is on the waitlist, the Status will be listed as “Waitlist,” and data will appear in the Waitlist Position and Added to Waitlist columns.

Managing Waitlists 

1. Registrars can add, remove, and enroll students from the waitlist directly from a class via the Students Tab in the Manage Class Interface.

How the Waitlist Appears to Parents 

Note: The waitlist feature is only available to parents if a Program Manager first enables it. 

When a parent tries to enroll their student in a full class, they will be added to the class waitlist instead of being enrolled.  This is indicated to parents by a yellow ‘+’ instead of a gray ‘+’ when adding a class. When a parent clicks the yellow +, they will also receive a notification that the class is full, and the student will be added to the class waitlist. 

Classes can only be waitlisted by parents when they are full, and the open enrollment deadline has not passed. Once a class has reached its enrollment limit, parents cannot enroll their students in the class until the waitlist has been cleared. 

Parents can view classes their students are waitlisted for by following the steps below:

1. Log in to the ALE application. ALE Parents Login Instructions
2. Click Summary under Parent Home in the left navigation menu. 
3. The summary page will list all your students enrolled in the ALE program. Click the Review WSLP under the Student and School Year you would like to view the waitlist for. 
4.  Hover your mouse over the Classes Tab drop-down and click Waitlist.
