# Class Demand

The **Class Demand** module allows schools to plan the number of classes to open for the next term. Edusuite’s **forecasting feature** suggests which courses and how many sections are needed. If a course is not opened, students can be **re-advised** to different classes.

## Access and Navigation

You can access the **Class Demand** module under **Planning**.

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXf7TUtP3dztz7WmYS_FOKkLZghNMo2ded0e4heSJswHctanimU9fO2JvznOifcYC4jBeVY6jDjJfGAGfxc9UQjDk2n3osfjqfGeGkOMTIvdl9bN4IuU1FnrxqpIVDC4-wOeBD-bAgfGUY7mA87bvhvPZjTR?key=Cktma731MOJNAwIjpG9hEg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Enter a **unique description** for the class demand
* Choose whether to enable **forecasting**:
  * **Enabled**: The system forecasts sections and classes based on past enrollment trends
  * **Disabled**: The class demand will only consider active **block sections**, updating automatically if they are added, removed, or modified
* If forecasting is **enabled**, configure the following options:
  * **Algorithm Type**:
    * **Prioritize Regular Offering** – Prioritizes subjects based on the term to be opened *(e.g., for 1st term, 1st-term courses are prioritized)*
    * **Prioritize Earlier Course** – Ideal for schools with a high volume of regular student enrollments
  * **Minimum Students per Section** – The system will only open a section if this number is met.
  * **Maximum Advised Units** – The maximum number of units a student can take
* If forecasting is enabled, the class demand status will be **“Forecasting”** until processing is complete
