Did someone say... scuffed UCSD historical enrollment data?

webweg | webreg_scraper | UCSDHistEnrollmentData

A repository that

• branches out to multiple children repositories containing enrollment data for multiple terms at UC San Diego.
• contains some other other UCSD-related data files that may be helpful.

Data

You can find historical enrollment data linked below. Documentation can be found further below. To see the other UCSD-related data files, go to the data folder.

Note

This repository contains a number of random scripts to help me clean up and process the enrollment data, documentation regarding how the CSV files are structured, and links to the sibling repositories. Each child repository contains CSV files which contains information regarding the number of seats available at some time for certain classes. There are also some scripts designed to help clean and analyze the data. Additionally, there are pre-generated plots of each course that is being tracked.

Full Data

Starting with FA22,

• enrollment and drop data are integrated into one term folder.
• graduate courses from specific departments will be collected¹.
• all undergraduate courses will be collected.

Incomplete Data

Below, you can find incomplete data. Incomplete data is defined as data with a significant number of missing datapoints (essentially rendering them significantly less valuable than regular datasets).

S223	Summer II 2023 Raw Data	All undergraduate courses (raw data only, see repository for more info)	Here

Limited Data (Prior to FA22)

The following repositories only contain limited data, and were intended to be long-term test runs to see if the project was feasible. Note that Spring 2022 enrollment data is formatted differently from the data found in other data repositories.

Footnotes

1. Graduate courses are not formally supported. Once I stop collecting undergraduate course enrollment data, I will also stop collecting graduate course enrollment data, which means some data (e.g., drop with W deadline) will not be collected. ↩

ucsdhistenrolldata's Issues

Current Update Status

Note: As of December 3, 2023, this issue will no longer be updated.

I'll periodically update this issue with the status (update frequency) of each active term I'm tracking. Note that each general term will look like XXXX, where each X is a letter or number.

The status you see here is how often I'll be plotting the data. Note that this is supposed to be an estimate; I may not necessarily follow through with updating the datasets/plots on said basis.

Active Terms

Term	Status
WI24	⌛Coming Soon.

(Working day means a day where there's active enrollment going on, e.g., Sunday is not a working day because no one is assigned an enrollment time then.)
