Why is it important to try to cancel low-enrollment courses 31 days out?

Which department oversees the field study program?
Operations Department. POC is Patty Sanchez
What is a "stop enrollment" indicator and why is it used in scheduling?
A "stop enrollment" indicator is used to prevent further enrollments in a class (in lieu of canceling). It is sometimes used to initially cancel a class (until students have been contacted), or when a region needs to "uncombine" an existing connected class.
