Some sections may be linked to other sections that meet at the same time and are taught by the same instructor(s). These sections are referred to as Cross-Listed Sections.

Cap is the maximum combined enrollment allowed for all the cross-listed sections; Act, the actual combined enrollment at the time you view the listing; and Rem, the remaining combined number of seats available.
