What you need to know
Our Enrollment Tools application helps department administrators and instructors manage their limited-enrollment subjects.
All CI-H/HW subjects are limited-enrollment by default. The application optimizes students’ subject choices within priority groups set by the Subcommittee on the Communication Requirement (SOCR), and creates waitlists for all CI-H/HW subjects.
Departments can also choose to limit enrollment in other subjects for pedagogical or logistical reasons. These subjects can be managed through the application using pre-registration class lists and/or waitlists.
