reserve capacity requirement group date field

Typical dates start prior to registration.
Typically a second row is added to remove the limit prior to instruction, allowing other students to fill the class.

Example dates might be adding a reserve capacity for Seniors the month before registration starts (to allow for NCO), then removing it the week before classes start. Removing the Reserve Capacity allows students on the Waitlist to enroll.

The Requirement Group number field lists the requirement group number. The magnifying glass will list all available pre-requisites and reserve capacities. You may use any reserve capacity. If you have a question about what a specific reserve capacity does, contact Pullman Registrar's Office.
