Seat Recovery
Seat recovery is the process of identifying wasted or underutilized seats and reclaiming them through section adjustment, rebalancing, or consolidation. It is the operational outcome of enrollment analysis. An effective seat recovery process can reduce the number of sections an institution runs by 5-10% while maintaining or improving student access to courses.
