The waitlist counts down to zero from the total positions available (for example 89/99 means that 10 waitlist positions have been taken). A yellow exclamation point in the "Wait List Open" column indicates that the section has opened the waitlist. If you selected the "Open" Class Status filter and the "Wait List" Class Status filter, all sections will appear. If you have selected the "Open" Class Status filter, only open sections will appear. Unreserved and reserved seat counts are listed for each section of the class. Once the course has been added, you can either click on the course or the "Select Sections" button to view additional class details and seat availability. If you do not select specific sections of the course, Schedule Builder will create Class Schedule options with all available sections. By selecting the course in the sub-navigation, you may elect to further limit which sections are used to build schedules. Use the Add Course button to select the courses Schedule Builder will use to create Class Schedule options. When searching for a course, these two fields are required (note the red asterisk).

If you select the GWR filter and the USCP filter, Schedule Builder will include all GWR courses and all USCP courses in the search results. You have the ability to select multiple Section Filters, but Section Filters do not overlap.
You may elect to search by GE (General Education) Area, US Cultural Pluralism (USCP) courses, or Graduation Writing Requirement (GWR) courses. Section Filters may be used to search for courses in specific categories. Use the "Modality of Instruction" filter to search for courses that fit your needs. There are six different modalities of instruction at Cal Poly: Synchronous (fully online with established meeting times), Asynchronous (fully online with no established meeting times), Sync/Async Hybrid, In Person, In Person/Sync Hybrid, and In Person/Async Hybrid. To view all course offerings, including classes that are closed, full, or have formed a waitlist, uncheck both Class Status filter options (uncheck both "Open" and "Wait List"). When searching for courses, Schedule Builder will automatically include only open courses (courses with open seats available). This Filter may be turned off if results are too limited. Unavailable Time may be set and used as a Filter when searching for courses.
