Checking elective places

    Is there any way of checking a provisional elective to see how many people have opted to take it? I could be wrong but I remember another year I got emails saying how many people had chosen it and whether or not it was over-subscribed.

    You can choose to search by "hiding full modules" so you'll know which ones still have places anyway.

    If you search in SIS, it tells you how many places are available next to the name e.g. "Available: 15". The emails come later as they close the registration.

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    If it's been mentioned favourably in one of the many "easy electives" threads here in the past, you can bet that it's going to be oversubscribed. :o
