What comes first
The chain dibs can see is 4 courses long before CH ENGR C126. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for CH ENGR 45, so the real chain can only be longer than this, never shorter.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
From the registrar's catalog
Lecture, four hours; discussion, one hour; outside study, seven hours. Requisite: course CM145. Introduction of viruses and their varied roles in biotechnology, from utilization of viral enzymes to biotechnologies used to combat viral infectious diseases. Basic concepts of virology. Focus on use of viruses, including bacteriophages, and viral proteins as tools in biotechnology. Examples include bacteriophage display, virus-based nanomaterials, and viral vectors for gene delivery, and vaccines. Covers case studies of viral diseases and biotechnological strategies for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Examples include human immunodeficiency virus and coronaviruses. Students conduct literature searches and write paper on relevant topic of their choice. Concurrently scheduled with course C226. Letter grading.

External reviews are separate and do not count toward the dibs rating.
Seats over time in Fall 2026
How each lecture has filled since dibs first saw it.
A dot is a reading where something moved: the seat count, the status, or the waitlist.
What a flat run means, and where a line starts
Flat between dots means it did not drift, it held and then jumped, and a line starts when dibs first saw that lecture rather than reaching back before it existed. A lecture that has never moved draws a flat line across the whole window, and one with two or three readings draws a line joining them, which is too few to read a trend from.

How readings and alerts work
Dated seat counts can be available even when hourly check history is missing. Gaps do not show whether seats changed between observations.
Seat counts show the last successful read, not live availability. Refreshes can be delayed by request limits or upstream interruptions. Watched sections receive priority, but an hourly update for every section is not guaranteed.
The registrar can change a seat count between our checks. Alerts depend on dibs detecting an opening and completing delivery; a quiet watch does not prove that no seat opened. Check the registrar before enrolling.
