Ecampus Course Restrictions

Project Summary

Ecampus courses and degree offerings have grown in popularity over the years, resulting in high-demand courses reaching capacity quickly. Ecampus degree-seeking students have been increasingly unable to register for courses necessary for degree completion due to courses reaching capacity before all priority registration windows open.  This project aims to utilize enrollment management practices to increase access and support the degree progress of Ecampus students.

Prosperity Widely Shared Goals:

  • A university where every student graduates
