These guidelines provide a consistent framework for reviewing and managing stateside courses that fall below minimum enrollment thresholds. The aim is to encourage proactive course planning, reduce last-minute cancellations, and ensure the efficient use of instructional resources.
Departments are encouraged to monitor enrollment trends early, align course offerings with student demand, and request dean-level waivers when exceptions are appropriate.
The guidelines promote transparency, academic quality, and fiscal responsibility while supporting effective scheduling and student progress toward graduation.
