The allocation is based on constraints such as available resources, type of student, year level etc.

Allocation Adjustment - Allows a student to make any minor changes to their allocations by choosing a vacancy from any of the classes that are not full, or allocate themselves if they have not previously done so, or if the class they have formerly chosen no longer exists.
