Waiting lists
Many City Lit courses fill up quickly, so try and book early to avoid disappointment.
If the course you're trying to book is full, please add yourself to the waiting list.
If a space becomes available before the course begins, we'll automatically email you to let you know. You'll need to be quick as the place will be offered on a first come, first-serve basis. If a place doesn't become available, we'll update you if any new dates for that course become available.
Add yourself to a waiting list online by clicking on the ‘Add to your waiting list’ button on the right-hand side of the screen. This option is available on most of our courses, before the course starts or before too much of the course has passed. Click on the 'Add to your waiting list' button and log into your online account.
You can see and manage your waiting list online at any time.
If you need to reset your online account password, please follow these steps.
Registering your interest in similar courses or a subject area
If the course you'd like is full, we may offer the same course on a different day or time or offer an alternative but similar course. If you need help with finding an alternative, just get in touch as we can help you narrow down your options!
You can also register your interest in a subject area by finding the subject area page via the main course category navigation i.e., bookbinding or French.
Then clicking on the ‘Add to your waiting list’ button at the very bottom of the subject page.
