Reserve Caps

Reserve Caps allow you to set aside a specific number of seats in a class for targeted student groups (e.g., majors, academic levels). They must be fewer than the total enrollment cap and cannot be used to enforce prerequisites, corequisites, or antirequisites.

Adding Reserve Caps

  1. Navigate to Maintain Schedule of Classes.
  2. Enter the class information and click the Reserve Cap tab.
  3. In the Reserve Capacity section:
    • Enter the Start Date for the reserve cap.
    • Enter the appropriate Requirement Group Number (this defines the student group).
    • Enter the number of seats to reserve.
  4. To add more reserve caps:
    • Click the “+” to add a new row.
    • Each reserve cap must be entered on its own row.
  5. Click Save to apply the changes.

Deleting Reserve Caps

  1. Under the Reserve Cap tab, locate the reserve cap row to be removed.
  2. Click the “–” (minus) button to delete the row.
  3. Click Save to confirm the deletion.

Expiring a Reserve Cap

To set a reserve cap to expire on a specific date:

  1. Add a new row with:
    • A later start date (the expiration date).
    • The same requirement group number.
    • Zero in the cap enrollment field.
  2. Click Save.

Note: You only need to set an end date for the first row; all additional rows will automatically expire based on that date unless otherwise specified.

Quick Reminders

  • Individual reserve caps must be less than the class’s total enrollment capacity.
  • They do not enforce academic requisites (pre/co/antirequisites).
  • Requirement Groups control who the reserved seats are for—ensure you use accurate codes.
