Badger Course Watch

Monitors UW-Madison course enrollment for open seats.

Never miss an open seat again. 🦡📚 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. This extension runs quietly in your browser, monitoring the specific course sections you need. The moment a student drops a class or a waitlist spot opens up, you get an instant system notification on your computer—so you can enroll before the spot is gone. 🚀 Key Features: Instant Alerts: Get notified immediately when Open Seats or Waitlist Spots become available. Smart Monitoring: Checks course status automatically every 60 seconds. 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 Lectures, Discussions, or Labs to ensure they fit your schedule. Meeting Details: View meeting times, days, and dates directly in your watchlist. Distraction-Free: Need a break? Use the Mute button to silence alerts for specific courses without removing them from your list. 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. 📝 How to Use: Install the extension. Log in to enroll.wisc.edu in a browser tab (the extension uses your active session). Open Badger Course Watch and click the Search tab. Find your course and check the box for the specific sections you want. Click "Add to Watchlist". That’s it! You will receive a desktop notification as soon as a spot opens. 🔒 Privacy & Security: This extension runs entirely on your local machine. It communicates directly with UW-Madison's public enrollment API using your browser's existing login session. It does not store your password, student ID, or personal data on any external servers.
