Priority order to courses is according to the order of priority decided by the Academic committee for School of Arts, Design and Architecture: https//www.aalto.fi/en/services/registering-to-courses-and-the-order-of-priority-in-aalto-arts
After the registration has closed, SISU conducts a raffle to allocate all the seats while considering the possible prioritisation order stated above. If there are more registrants than available seats, ten (10) students from the remaining applicants are drawn and placed on a waiting list in numerical order. On the first day of the course, these students may check for available seats in case of no-shows. Any available seats are then filled in numerical order. Students on the waiting list will receive an email containing details about the registration status, once the registration period has closed.
