"Swap" is a very useful function. For example, enrolling in class A is your first choice, but this class is full and you enrol in class B which is your second choice. You intend to enrol in class A if seats are available and then drop class B. To do this, you can enrol in class B first and swap class A with class B. After the "swap" action, you will be placed on the wait list of class A and continue to be enrolled in class B. When you successfully enrol in class A, the system will help you to drop class B automatically.
