Percent Held Seats

Due to the high demand for INST 100- to 400-level INST, iSchool Academic Programs may reserve 10% of course seats in core courses during the registration period. This practice allows incoming freshman and transfer students to have access to courses during orientation and to accommodate emergency enrollment scenarios (e.g. reinstatement of an expelled student). Any unused seats are released to the course waitlist on the first day of classes. Because of this practice, course entries on Testudo may appear to be different sizes than what an instructor is assigned to the course. For more information, instructors should submit a ticket via the Academic Programs portal at Jira Service Management .
