You are looking at Winter 2026. That term is over, so these are last term's numbers rather than seats you can take. Dibs has read 195 of the 3,464 courses on its list for this term. Terms nobody is enrolling in are swept one a night in rotation, so a course with nothing here may simply not have been reached yet. Back to Fall 2026

      Lec MWF 11:00am-11:50am · Deweese, D.

      Lecture reads closed, and you enroll in the discussion but attend both, so its 3 open discussions cannot be reached from here. There is no waitlist either, so the only way in is somebody dropping the lecture.

    Seat risk combines how full the section is now with how large the course has historically run. Reserved-seat restrictions are not parsed yet, so risk is a tier rather than a percentage: a section can read “94 spots left” with most of them held for a major.
