<p>Could anyone explain what this thing is?</p>
<p>What does Tele-BEARS mean when it says I can't enroll because I don't meet a course's restrictions or departmental criteria or that my "enrollment category" is full?
Departments can specify that some or all of the seats in each of their courses be reserved for certain categories of students, such as those with certain majors or who are at certain levels. The messages you heard refer to the restrictions placed by the department on the whole class or on the particular seat reservation categories. To find out exactly what restrictions have been placed on the course, contact the department or use Info-BEARS.</p>
<p>Basically the category they refer to is (fresh,soph,junior,senior)</p>
<p>Under each class, there is a link which says "click here for current enrollment information and course restrictions." The link will tell you which categories are full or empty.</p>
