Filling seats after auto-enroll stops running

Following the last run, classes that still have waitlists will typically have an Enrollment Status of “Closed.” How do you fill any seats that may subsequently open due to enrolled students dropping the class? You have two options to pick from based on the best option for your department.

Option 1 Give students a permission number to override a closed class using the Closed Class checkbox on the Class Permissions page. This option allows you to give permission to waitlisted students, when appropriate. To assist in determining which students to provide permission, the waitlist will be available for your reference until the end of drop/add period. Option 2 On the Enrollment Control tab, un-check 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.
