Filling seats after auto-enroll stops running

After the last auto-enroll run, classes that still have wait lists will typically have an Enrollment Status of “Closed.” This means that the open seats will not automatically fill after an enrolled student has dropped the class. In order to fill these seats, you have two options to choose from based on the method that works best for your department.

Option 1

Give students a permission number to override a closed class using the Closed Class checkbox on the Class Permission page. This option allows you to give permission to wait-listed students, when appropriate. To determine which students need permission, the wait list will be available to you until the end of the add and drop period.

Option 2

On the Enrollment Control tab, uncheck the Auto Enroll from Wait List checkbox, which changes the Enrollment Status to “Open” and allows any student to register for the remaining seat(s) up until instructor approval is required.
