Waitlist Policy:

To ensure fairness, safety, and smooth operations, the Grand TECH Club has established the following policy regarding class waitlists:

What It Means to Be on a Waitlist
- Being on a waitlist does not guarantee a spot in the current class or in any future offering of the class.
- Waitlists are used only for the current session to help fill openings when registered members cancel.

Registration for Future Sessions
- When a class is offered again, registration opens fresh for everyone.
- Waitlist names do not carry over to the next scheduled session. All members must register through ClubExpress as usual.
How the Education Team Uses Waitlist Data
- The Education Team reviews waitlist numbers to determine if an additional session of a class should be added.
- While waitlist counts help guide planning, they do not hold or reserve seats for future sessions.

Please Don’t Come Without A Registration
- For safety, liability, and room-capacity reasons, only registered attendees may enter the classroom.
- Please do not come to a class hoping for a no-show or expecting to be admitted from the waitlist on the spot.
- If a seat becomes available, the Education Team will notify the next person on the waitlist through the ClubExpress system.
