Please note: Changes are not automatic. There are three levels of approval (coordinator, advisor, registrar). Requests are typically processed within a 2-3 day window, but may be a little longer at the beginning of the year when many students make changes. The Electives Open/Closed Report lists each elective in each period, how many slots are offered, and how many have already been taken. For example: Period | Prefix | Numb | Title | Site | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 4 WEEK PERIOD | MEL | xxxx | Elective Y | USFMS | 8/3 | 0/0 | 0/0 | 0/0 | 8/6 | 8/7 | 0/0 | 0/0 | 8/6 | 8/8 | 8/5 | 0/0 |
Elective Y is offered in periods 1, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11. (Period 12 is an extra month for remediation purposes.) There are a total of 8 slots available in each of those periods. 3 students are enrolled in period 1, so there are 5 slots available. Period 10 is full. For courses offered as a two-week rotation, the total number of spots in one period cannot exceed the number of slots. For example:
Period | Prefix | Numb | Title | Site | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 2 WEEK PERIOD A | MEL | xxxx | Elective Z | TGH | 2/0 | 2/0 | 2/0 | 2/0 | 2/1 | 2/0 | 2/0 | 2/0 | 2/0 | 2/1 | 2/0 | 0/0 | 2 WEEK PERIOD B | MEL | xxxx | Elective Z | TGH | 2/0 | 2/0 | 2/0 | 2/0 | 2/1 | 2/0 | 2/1 | 2/0 | 2/0 | 2/1 | 2/0 | 0/0 | 4 WEEK PERIOD | MEL | xxxx | Elective Z | TGH | 2/0 | 2/0 | 2/0 | 2/0 | 2/1 | 2/1 | 2/1 | 2/1 | 2/2 | 2/0 | 2/1 | 0/0 |
Period A is the first half of the period, and Period B is the second half. In Period 5, the enrollment adds up to 2 people for the four weeks, one four week person, one two week person in A, and one two week person in B. For this course, there cannot be more than 2 students enrolled at any one time. Based on the report, in period 10, either one more student could register for the full four weeks, or one more student could be in both Period A and Period B |
