Eligibility for a course does not guarantee you a seat in that course!
Our introductory and calculus courses typically have high enrollments; we do our best to anticipate enrollments (hence the survey question when you register in ALEKS), but we can't promise that there'll be room for everyone in the first quarter that they are eligible for a given course. Do your best to be eligible for your target course by your first enrollment opportunity.
