Oceanography Course Planning Enrollments and Capacity AY 21/22

* Notes for Course Planning Enrollments and Capacity reports
All data is aggregated at the Course level with section counts provided so that overall course capacity and demand may be assessed.
Associated lab/activity class sections are not considered because for each student course need, the lecture section reflects the overall capacity. Because this analysis is by course, all special topic description are reduced to the basic course title.
The wait-max values indicate the highest number of students waitlisted for the course at any point in the registration cycle.
