- Section Capacity: the maximum number of students that can be enrolled in this section
The Registration module refers to the maximum number you define in this field to determine whether the section is full. - Schedule Capacity: a number that is not used by the Registration module to indicate "real" capacity
For example, you might enter 85 in the Section Capacity field and 100 in this field to show that 100 people can really register for the section, which leaves 15 seats in reserve.
This field is for informational purposes only. Colleague does not use this information to limit registration or reserve seats for the section. - Minimum Enrollment: minimum number of students enrolled before this section can be offered
- Global Capacity: the maximum number of students who can enroll in the combined sections of the cross-list
Colleague uses the global capacity during registration to determine whether a student can register for one of the sections listed.
This is not necessarily the sum of the capacities of all of the cross-listed sections.
If you leave this field blank, Colleague assumes that there is no limit as to how many students can register for this cross-list. - Global Waitlist Maximum: the maximum number of students allowed on the waitlist to limit the number of students who can be put on all the waitlists for all the sections in the cross-list
During registration, if the number of students on waitlists for all cross-list sections equals this maximum, the option to waitlist is not given for the next student who tries to be registered in any of the cross-listed sections.
If you leave this field blank, there is no limit on how many students can waitlist for the cross-list as a whole. However, if a section has a waitlist maximum, that is the maximum number of students who can be on the waitlist for that section. If the total number of students who can be waitlisted based on the section maximum is greater than the cross-list waitlist maximum, the waitlists of all sections are closed when the cross-list waitlist maximum is reached.
