I agree. This appears to be a pretty cool site, but I would understand more if your security organization was making 
the complaint. I can only imagine students must share their registration user name and passwords unless there is an 
unrestricted view of current class enrollment counts.

I'm curious to know what chief compliant your Registration folks came to you with. They obviously don't like it, but 
why?

Recently our Registration folks asked us if there was something that 
could be done to block access for coursesniper, here is the web site:

Essentially it is a pay service that will check if a course has an 
open spot. I was curious if anyone had been requested to block 
coursesniper or looked into blocking coursesniper.
