Prior to the deadline for canceling a section, class enrollment in the section should be reviewed. Sections that do not meet the minimum enrollment requirement as defined by the Minimum Enrollment policy should be canceled. The minimum enrollment requirement for an undergraduate class section is ten students, and the minimum enrollment requirement for a graduate class section is five students. This policy does not apply to thesis, dissertation, and directed study courses. Exceptions to the minimum enrollment policy require justification and approval from the department head, dean, and Vice President for Instruction. Requests should be sent to [email protected].
