How does Ohio State address closed courses?
The university has reversed a trend that saw increasing numbers of students closed out of courses because demand exceeded capacity. For those students closed out of courses, the university has set up an electronic wait list system. This system automatically schedules wait-listed students into a course if the course limit increases, if a space opens in the course, or if sections of the course are added. And if students don t get scheduled into their requested course by the end of the first week of classes, they will be given advanced priority for that course the next time it is offered.
