It seems as though we will be unable to acquire exact seat numbers for NYU, at least initially. Instead of providing seat numbers, NYU's system displays a status text instead.

The possible statuses of a section are:

  • Open
  • Closed
  • Wait List (<N>) (although all I have seen is Wait List (0)
  • Cancelled

YACS should be able to ingest a status as well as seat numbers, but not require either to function. If seat numbers are not available, they should not be displayed, and if a status is not available, one should not be displayed.

This actually works out well, because we have received feedback from students at RPI in the past that showing only the number of seats total and the number of seats available often leaves some confusion as to whether a section is closed. So we should add a status to the RPI data adapter based on the number of seats. Because the status can be derived in the case of RPI, this will technically be redundant, but it is a small amount of data and will improve clarity and generalization.
