Here’s a tip if you want to get an idea of whether they’ll be adding seats (and how many) to a class or not.

On the homepage of mybama at the top of the middle box select “look up classes”

On the drop down menu that appears saying “search by term” select “fall of 2010” instead of 2011.

Then select the class you’re interested in knowing about and you’ll see how many seats that class offered in prior semesters. You can do the same for “fall of 2009” for more confirmation.

For the most part you’ll see that the numbers are pretty consistent from year to year and that will give you an idea of how many more seats will be added or if a class is maxed out already.

For instance lil bro is trying to get a preferred professor for one of his natural science requirements. Right now the class is full at 90 seats. But looking at fall of 2009 & 2010 we can see that roughly 90 additional seats will be made available for that particular section in the upcoming Bama Bounds.

Only compare fall to fall and spring to spring.
