   Ok, I'll clarify. We are are currently allowd to schedule up to 23 credit
hours ( 3 hours of lab count as 1 credit hour ). We also have 3 registration
phases: pre-registration, registration, and late registration. Pre-registration
takes place shortly after midterms in the quarter prior to one for which the
student is registering. The proposal was to allow a student to only schedule
19 credit hours during pre-registration and lift the limit during registration, 
which is held a couple of days before classes start. We have a nasty habit of  
scheduling an overload and then droping masive ammounts, a normal load is
17-19 hours. Since most students schedule during pre-registration, it is hoped
that this will keep classes from closing out too early.
