In a week this institution could have up to 10,000 individual students attend a class but the occupancy number can never exceed 2,200 due to physical capacity. </div><div><br></div><div>lets also assume that out of this total number only 1,000 students are full time. </div><div><br></div><div>based on the policy this school will be able to claim the 10,000 students.
