Low-Enrolled Courses and Class Size

For a course to be offered in any term, it is essential that minimum enrollment criteria are met; otherwise, the course section will be subject to cancellation during the Section Balancing Process in accordance with the Low-Enrolled Courses and Class Size Policy . The following course enrollment minimums have been established for each of the following categories:

• Undergraduate lower division (000-199): 16 students
• Undergraduate upper division (200-499): 12 students
• Graduate lower division - Master's (500-699): 10 students
• Graduate upper division - Doctoral (700-999): 6 students

In instances where course sections are cross-listed, the total enrollment will be calculated by combining the number of students in each course section. The enrollment must meet the criteria of the highest course number, which corresponds to the lower minimum. For instance, if 100-level course is cross-listed with a 300-level course, the enrollment must satisfy the threshold for undergraduate upper division courses.
