Closed Classes

If a class reaches its capacity, the SCS Registrar will close it. If a student who has been closed out of a class asks for permission to enter the class, the instructor should refer him/her to the SCS Office in either Evanston or Chicago.

The capacity set for a class will be observed by the Registrar's Office. If a special case requires admitting a student over the capacity, the instructor will be consulted and permission secured before the enrollment limit is raised. It is not unusual for additional students to appear in a closed class for the first meeting. Instructors should inform students who do not appear on the class roster that they must contact the SCS Registrar’s Office to register for the course and/or straighten out any enrollment issues.
