Course	A course is a learning program designed to provide students with a specific set of skills and competencies. It may meet once or multiple times, or may be a self-paced online activity that students do on their own.
Class	A class is a single instance of a course. For example, the New Managers course may be offered four times a year, once per quarter, with classes called New Managers Q1, New Managers Q2, and so on. The same course content is covered in each class.
Waiting List	If you want to attend a class, but the class is currently full, you are automatically placed on a waiting list. When an opening occurs, you are automatically enrolled in the class. For example, you may want to take the New Managers Q1 class, which is currently full. You are on the waiting list in case an opening occurs.
Watch List	If you want to take a course, but there are no classes that are open for enrollment, you can enter your name on a watch list. You will be notified when a class is added. For example, you may want to take the Safety Culture course the next time that it is offered. You are on the watch list in case a new class is offered.
