The Effect of Course Shutouts on Community College Students: Evidence from Waitlist Cutoffs

Silvia Robles, Max Gross and Robert Fairlie

Mathematica Policy Research Reports from Mathematica Policy Research

Abstract: We provide the first causal evidence on the impacts of limited course availability at a community college. We find that students stuck on a waitlist and shut out of a course section were 22–28 percent more likely to take zero courses that term.
