Course Demand Statistics
  • Unlike the Discussion/Lab Section Statistics, this will not show the maximum enrollment (or cap), however, it will show total enrollment.  
  • It can also be sorted to show only students who are registered, waitlisted or visiting and will display enrollment trends across several days.
  • If a course is cross-listed  it will show the number of students enrolled for each of the different subject and course codes and total them to the right.
