Bottleneck Data
Detailed number of students declared in each major
in Fall 2012
Courses that are consistent bottlenecks for students
While many disciplines have a single course bottleneck,
these are courses that present a bottleneck to large numbers of
students every semester.

Comparison of how full Spring 2013 classes are on
December 13, 2012 (last day of fall term) and on January 17, 2013
(Thursday before classes started). The charts are
divided by:
- Division & Rubric
- Division & Major
- CSU General Education Area
Colors are indicative of how full the sections of that course are
on that date:
- red = all waitlists are full
- pink = all sections have a waitlist, some of which are full
- yellow = all sections have a waitlist that still has seats
on it
- green = some sections have a waitlist, some have open seats
- blue = all sections have open seats

These documents are the detail, class by class, that was used to
generate the pie charts.

Which Spring 2013 classes have open seats two weeks after
the semester started? Blue = more than 5 open seats
in that section. Green = 1-4 open seats in that section.

Comparison of the number of students who can be served by
each of the CSU general education areas. (Note - Area
E does not include seats available in PHED courses that are less
than three units. Only two activity units are transferrable, so a
three unit course would still be needed.)

offerings - based on Spring 2012-Fall 2012 schedule
Spring 2013 CSU GE summary - seats offered, seats still open,
closed/waitlisted sections
Which courses fill the fastest? Which courses have
waitlists that fill? This chart looks at the date
that the waitlist for the last section of a course was opened as
well as the date that the waitlist for the last section of a course
filled (so students could no longer register for that course,
without being really lucky). Courses that fill rapidly,
particularly those that are required by large numbers of students,
are most likely to be causing swirling.

"Pie in the Sky" schedule
This isn't saying what you should do, but it may help you
get started in identifying all the courses needed for transfer,
associates, and certificate majors in your area. You can also
flip through all the divisions and see which majors outside of your
area require your courses. Please seen the "pie in the sky
schedule construction" document for an explanation of methods and
caveats.

Supply and Demand for Developmental Math & English
Beginning in Fall 2014 all students will be required to complete the full matriculation process - assessment, orientation, advising. Combine this with the data that show students are more successful in nearly all of their courses if they have at least started their developmental courses, how many seats would be needed in English (102/101A/101B) and Math (103/104/55/65) to accommodate all students who need these classes?
