The student will need to find the Class Component(s) in the Class Search Results and match the Associated Class number in the class details.

Determining if there is still space in the class
- Determine the number of available seats for the class in question:
Class Capacity/Combined Section Capacity - Enrollment Total = number of available spaces - Determine whether the available spaces are reserved or unreserved.
- Review each Reserve Capacity and ask yourself, do I fit the reserve category?
- If so, and there is space in the Enrollment Total column, you may add the course. Note: If there is no number beside Enrollment Total, it means there are 0 students enrolled.
- If not, you can only add the course if there are any unreserved spaces remaining:
Number of unreserved spaces available: Available Seats - remaining reserved spaces
- If you are having difficulty understanding how many reserved or unreserved spaces are available, review the image below.
- Review each Reserve Capacity and ask yourself, do I fit the reserve category?
This course has 68 available seats, however, 46 seats are reserved for specific students, leaving 22 available seats. To determine available seats, subtract the Cap Enrl number from the Enrollment Total in the Reserve Capacity Section, then add the total of remaining seats from the capacity enrolment section. Subtract the total of the seats reserved (46) from the amount of available seats (68) and you get the amount of available seats that are unreserved (22).
Notes:
- If there are no free reserved or unreserved spaces available, you will need to obtain a permission number from the instructor or have the instructor sign your Course Override Form (override Class Limit).
- If there is room in a class and it looks like you should be able to enrol but Quest will not allow you to enrol, it may be because the Schedule of Classes hasn't been updated.
