Maximum Enrollment Update
- QR - #S4
- Module - Schedule
- Form - SSASECT
Remarks
To change the maximum number of students allowed to enroll in a specified section.
FYI: You must be granted update capabilities to the form SSASECT in order to change section maximums. Check Help for more information on access.
Note: Cap adjustments: Courses that you may want to reduce caps would be courses with popular faculty or scheduled at prime times. Cap adjustments should be made just prior to a scheduled appointment time and if possible monitored during this time.
Problems and Concerns: Students register based on earned credits. When caps are reduced to populate sections evenly, some students encounter closed sections and have to alter their schedules, sometimes unable to schedule that particular course. Caps are then increased opening sections that during the prior appointment time were listed as closed. This allows students with less earned credits into these sections. (This is intentionally done with 1000 SS courses)
