Have you guys ever seen over enrollment capacity happen? For example, the Enrollment capacity is 40, but the number of student enroll is 45 let say?

I am talking about “before” the class is started. I know after the first day, instructor may add more student so the number of enroll exceed enrol cap, but would it happen before the class has stated?

I just wonder because in the system, it say the enrol cap of my class in 40. However, in myucla.edu, when I click classmates, it say that “Of the 47 other students enrolled in this class, 39 either do not have profiles or have not chosen to release their class information.” it says “47 other”, so if including me, the total enrollment would be 48? I feel kind of weird about that.
