Monitors UW-Madison course enrollment for open seats.

Never miss an open seat again. 🦡📚 & Export your schedule to your Calendar App (Google, Apple, or Outlook) now! Struggling to get into a full class at UW-Madison? Stop refreshing the enrollment page every five minutes. Badger Course Watch does the heavy lifting for you, from watching seats to organizing your semester. This extension runs quietly in your browser, monitoring the specific course sections you need and helping you manage your schedule once you're in. The moment a student drops a class or a waitlist spot opens up, you get an instant system notification—so you can enroll before the spot is gone. 🚀 Key Features: Instant Alerts: Get notified immediately when Open Seats or Waitlist Spots become available. 📅 One-Click Calendar Sync: Export your current semester schedule directly from the Enrollment Scheduler. The extension injects an "Export ICS" button into your toolbar, allowing you to sync all your Lectures, Discussions, and Labs to Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar in seconds. Smart Monitoring: Checks course status automatically every 60 seconds using your active session. Integrated Search: Search the entire UW-Madison course catalog directly inside the extension by Subject, Term, or Keyword. Section-Level Precision: Don't just watch "Chemistry 103"—watch specific sections to ensure they fit your exact schedule needs. Session Smart: Automatically detects if you are logged out of the enrollment portal and reminds you to re-login so you never miss a check. Distraction-Free: Use the Mute button to silence alerts for specific courses without removing them from your list. 📝 How to Use: 1. Install the extension and log in to 'enroll.wisc.edu'. 2. To Watch Seats: Open the "Search" tab in the extension, find your sections, and click "Add to Watchlist." You’ll get a desktop notification the moment a spot opens. 3. To Sync Your Calendar: Navigate to the "Scheduler" page on the UW enrollment site. Look for the new "Export ICS" button next to your schedule toolbar.
