  The requested enrollment add was not processed. The enrollment limit for the combined section class has been reached and there is no room on the Wait List.

• Requisites not met for class, not enrolled.

  This class has no seats available for anyone who fails to meet certain enrollment characteristics. For example, the class may have been set up for enrollment by Juniors and Seniors only. Click the link to the class in your Backpack for information about any requisites that apply to this class and/or seats reserved for specific groups of students.

• Student not enrolled, class is full.

  Try one of the following solutions:

  • The class number entered could be incorrect. Perform a class search to verify that the class number entered is actually full.

  • If working with a multiple component course, view the status of the components in the Backpack to see whether one component of the class is full. Check to see if a different section of the closed component is open.

  • If the class appears open, check if the course has a Reserve Capacity by clicking the link for the class in the Backpack.

  • If the class is cross-listed, the total enrollments for the two sections may add up to the class being full.

  • The class shows open seats but there are students on the waitlist. After a class fills with students currently on the waitlist, the course will not be reopened. The system shows open seats if students drop the course but it will still remain closed. The only option is to waitlist for the class.
