If there are less than a specific number of students, what status must the class have?

When determining the status of a class based on student enrollment, the classification of "Open" is typically assigned when there are fewer students than necessary for the class to be considered viable. This means that while the class is available for registration and may proceed if the required number of students enrolls, it has not yet reached the threshold needed to be deemed fully operational or confirmed.

An "Open" status indicates that there is an opportunity for more students to join the class, thus leaving room for increased enrollment before it potentially transitions to another status, such as "Confirmed," which usually requires a minimum number of enrollees to ensure the class will be held. In this way, the term "Open" effectively communicates the class's current capacity for accepting new students and highlights that it is still available for registration.
