Notes

• If a student tries to register for a course section for Winter 2023, he/she will not be able to do it based on Winter 2023's course registration timings. However, adding a course sction to Spring 2023 will not give an error.
  You can test it by registering course section 900153272 and the student ID will be stored in the PendingCourseSection table.
• The course feature Instructor Approval Required, if added to a course section will invoke the Observer.
