    Only classes with two or more sections are ranked. The waitlist number adds up each section’s waitlist at its longest, so a student waiting on two sections counts twice.

    How we measured this

    We checked every section in MPC’s Fall 2026 class schedule repeatedly from Tuesday, June 30, 2026 to Tuesday, October 13, 2026. A section counts as full if any check found its enrollment at the seat limit or anyone on its waitlist. Cancelled sections and sections without a seat limit are left out. Classes that filled before our first check still count, because they were still full when we looked.

    Questions students ask

    What classes fill up fast at MPC?

    In Fall 2026, the classes most likely to be full at MPC were ANAT 5 (Human Biology), PHSO 2 (Human Physiology Lab), CHEM 30A (Introductory Chemistry for Health Sciences), NURS 15 (Nursing Program Readiness) and CHEM 12A (Organic Chemistry I). Overall, 37% of MPC’s class sections filled up.

    How do I get into a full class at MPC?

    Get on the waitlist as soon as you can, check your email through the first week for a permission number or add code, and go to the first class meeting. Instructors often add waitlisted students who show up, as other students drop.

    When should I register at MPC to get the classes I need?

    At your registration appointment, the first minute it opens. MPC hasn't posted spring 2027 dates yet; expect priority registration around Nov 9. Have a backup section picked for every class on this list.
