Definition
Overfilled Section
An overfilled section is a course section that is at or above its enrollment cap while students remain on the waitlist or are being turned away. This indicates unmet demand that could be addressed by opening additional sections, raising the cap, or rebalancing enrollment from sibling sections. Overfilled sections are a signal that the current section configuration does not match student demand patterns.
