how many students does it take to sign up for a course before they decide not to cancel a section of a course. I am the only one signed up for a class right now (Elementary Bangladesh) and I fear that it'll not end up being taught. Is it the professor's call or the university?

i've heard it's around 12-13.

but definitely way more than 1.

my sister's bf teaches at UCF. he has a class with only 1 student.

A class can be full and they can still cancel it. There is no magical limit. Sometimes they'll drop a class because they can't get an instructor or they're diverting the funding else where or they feel like screwing people who just want to graduate.

i highly doubt its the latter, darkone.

but, as it was stated, there is no magical number.

My class this summer was on the verge of cancellation and according to the professor it requires a minimum number of students that they dictate each semester, and he said it was usually ranging from 10-12.

i had a class last semester with 3 other people

got an email from professor recently. told me that the class will go on as planned, even with just two of us in it (and i think the other guy is being taught via video)...this'll be odd

dzombie,
That will be odd. Which class is it?

thanks han

there is a triangle-wide push in the 4 universites (ncsu,unc,duke,uncc) to teach new southern asian languages: persian, bengali, pashto, and tamil. only bengali and persian are being offered at ncsu. persian has filled up with about 10 students, bengali is lagging.
