From Tuesday, April 22 to Thursday, April 24, students across the Claremont Colleges chose between over 1300 courses to craft the perfect Fall 2025 schedule. For many of these students, this also meant fighting to get into classes and submitting countless permission to enroll requests (PERMs). TSL’s data desk pulled some of the data and compiled the highlights for you below:
Curious about how many courses were closed by your registration time?
74 courses were officially closed by the start of registration for incoming juniors and 232 were closed for incoming sophomores.
However, this only includes courses in which all seats were filled. Other courses remained open, but only to those whose permission to enroll request (PERM) had been accepted.
By Thursday, April 24 at 5:00 p.m., students across the Claremont Colleges submitted an impressive 12,674 PERMs total.
Intermediate Microeconomics at Claremont McKenna College received the most PERMs, with a total of 202 across its six sections. Organic Chemistry at the Department of Natural Sciences and Core III at Scripps both received over 100 PERMs total across sections.
While PERM requests for courses like Organic Chemistry increased exponentially during sophomore registration, others like Introduction to Geology at Pomona had over 50 PERMs before registration started.
Which course was the hardest to get into? For Fall 2025, it was “Introduction to Painting” at Scripps College with 58 PERMs for only 10 seats. Low course capacity and high demand made art classes difficult to get into; six out of the ten courses with the highest PERM to seat capacity ratio were offered by art departments across the 5Cs.
If registration didn’t go the way you planned, don’t worry — professors will continue to accept PERMs through the beginning of next semester.
