Wait List- General Information
Overview: Wait listing is a registration tool that allows a student to add themselves to a waitlist on a class that has met its maximum enrollment limit. This eliminates the need to request a registration override permit for a closed class and gives a student the opportunity to register for a closed class when a seat becomes available. How it works: 1. When seat becomes available, an email notification is sent to the student who is next in line on the waitlist. The student has exactly 18 hours, including weekends and other days the college is closed, to register for the course. If a student is no able to register online due to holds or other reasons, registration can be done in person in the Enrollment Center. If the notification is received less than 18 hours before the start date of the session, registration must be completed by midnight before the start date. 2. If the student does not register within the 18-hour period, they will be dropped from the waitlist and the next student is notified. 3. The Schedule link in the Registration page in my Tri-C space will display the student's waitlisted courses and their position in line for the class. 4. Wait listing is valid up to the last day to add a course (same as the registration period). After that date, the waitlist information is removed from both the course and the student's record. General Guidelines: 1. Waitlisting is only available for courses that are (1) Schedule Type A (Lecture) or O (Combination, which is a lecture and a lab combined) or E (Special Lab), and (2) in parts of term 1, A, B, O (Fall and Spring) and 1, J, K, L (Summer). A notation will appear on the course search page for courses that are waitlisted. 2. Wait listing is done on a first-come, first-serve basis. 3. Wait listing is not a registration into the class and does not mean the student is registered in that class. It does not guarantee a seat. 4. Wait listing does not offer any special registration privileges. It does not override co-requisites, pre-requisites, links, time conflicts, and class restrictions such as major. Students still have to meet the qualifications required to enroll in the class and must pay or make arrangements to pay for the class according to established procedures. 5. Override permits will not be given on closed classes that have been set up with the waitlist option. Students must add themselves to the waitlist. 6. Students can add themselves to more than one waitlist.

Report a Suspicious or Phishing Email
The best way to report a suspicious or phishing email is to use the Phish Alert Button (PAB). PAB is available in the installed version of Outlook, the web version of Outlook, and the mobile app version of Outlook. Installed Version In the installed version of Outlook, you can find the Phish Alert Button at the right of the ribbon menu. Web Version The web interface adapts to the resolution, window size, text size, which decides which icons are shown. If there is sufficient space, you will see the Phish Alert icon which has a white envelope with an orange fishhook. If there is limited space you will not see the PAB. To find it, click the 3 dots to the right of the sender (not the 3 dots on the top ribbon), then Apps, and you will find the Phish Alert button: Mobile Version In the Outlook mobile app on both iOS and Android, you can find the PAB by opening a message and tapping the three dots to the right of the sender. (Note: These are not the dots next to the icons, which bring up a different menu.) You may need to pull the menu up to see the options if they are off-screen.

How do I update my MFA enrollment settings?
I got a new device and/or phone number. How do I update/change my MFA enrollment settings? In order to self-update your MFA settings, you will need to be able to login, including MFA. This is why it is important to enroll multiple methods, so you can still get in to self-update enrollment. If you are unable to login because you no longer have a valid MFA method, you will need to call the helpdesk at 216-987-4357 for assistance. MFA Enrollment Considerations Please configure more than one option if possible. This ensures you have multiple ways to get access and can update your MFA registration when you get a new device or phone number. A non-voice call method is preferred when possible as the automated call could be blocked or ignored by cell phone do not disturb or other settings. We recommend adding all options available to you: Cell phone (for voice and SMS text message codes) Home phone, if you have a separate home phone (for voice) Office phone (for voice) Microsoft Authenticator App install on your cell phone (for offline rotating codes and push notification) Microsoft Authenticator App install on a tablet such as an iPad if you have one (for offline rotating codes and push notification) Changing MFA Settings and Enrollments Should you need to change or update your MFA settings: Navigate to https://aka.ms/MFASetup and log in. You may be required to pass an MFA check before proceeding. This is one example of why it is important to have multiple methods enrolled. Once logged in, you can change, add, or delete add sign-in methods. You can also change your default sign-in method. We highly recommend adding multiple methods, such as a home phone, cell phone, work phone, and the mobile app. You can CHANGE or DELETE a method by clicking the applicable word next to the method you want to change or delete. You can ADD a sign-in method by clicking “+ Add sign-in method” You can change your default sign-in method by clicking CHANGE to the right of “Default sign-in method”.
