Room Mismatch

A room mismatch occurs when a section is assigned to a room whose capacity is significantly larger or smaller than the section's enrollment. For example, a section with 18 enrolled students in a 120-seat lecture hall represents a room mismatch. While room assignment is outside the scope of enrollment analysis, identifying mismatches provides supporting context for understanding why seat utilization appears low and helps facilities teams make better room assignments.
