SeatPing

Get a phone call and email when a seat opens in a class you're watching at FSU. Not affiliated with Florida State University.

SeatPing tells you the moment a seat opens in a class you need. Add the class numbers you're waiting on. Every few minutes, SeatPing checks the class search in Student Central from your own Chrome, using the sign-in you already have. When a section goes from Closed to Open, you get a phone call and an email (your choice), plus a Chrome notification. Text alerts are coming soon. HOW IT WORKS • Sign in to SeatPing with your email (no password). • Add the courses and class numbers you're watching. • Keep Chrome open and stay signed in to Student Central. SeatPing checks about every 5 minutes. • When a seat opens, enroll yourself in Student Central. YOUR FSU ACCOUNT STAYS YOURS • We never ask for, see or store your FSU password. • Checks run in your own browser. SeatPing receives which watched class opened (class number, section, course, term), whether checks are working (including a class number we couldn't find, so we can warn you when something needs fixing), and, after each check, the open/full status and seat counts it saw for your watched classes. • Those seat counts are used to alert other students watching the same class when a seat opens, and to space out checks so Student Central gets fewer requests. Nobody is ever told who else watches a class or how many do. • SeatPing never enrolls, swaps or drops classes for you. With one-tap enroll (Premium, off until you turn it on, where offered), clicking an alert opens your own Add Classes or Swap page with the class filled in and stops on the confirm page. Only you can click Finish. • Also: professor ratings from RateMyProfessors next to instructor names on Stellic, if you turn them on. FAIR START Alerts begin at 10:00 AM Eastern on the first day of registration for each term, so the opening hours are equal for everyone. PRICE Free during the Spring 2027 pilot. Summer 2027 is free for the first 400 students. From Fall 2027: Basic is $12.99 per semester for up to 8 classes. Premium is $19.99 and also alerts you when other SeatPing students' checks see your class open. Both cost less ($9.99 and $14.99) if you buy before registration opens or in its first 3 days, and there's a free 1-day, 2-class trial first. Your computer needs to be on with Chrome open for checks to run. With Premium, while it's off, other SeatPing users' checks of the same classes can still alert you. If you get signed out of Student Central, SeatPing pauses and tells you. If Student Central gets stuck while you're signed in, SeatPing can sign it out in its background tab and come back in through FSU's sign-in page, only when you don't have it open. It never types a password. SeatPing is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Florida State University.
