If a course requires application, only applications of students will be registered # instead of students directly enrolling in the course.
It is then up to the course administrators to rate and (if applicable) accept them.

Courses that participate in a central allocation also have the option of requiring # applications.
In case of a central allocation, every course that participates in it will receive # applications, regardless of whether this option is set or not. However, course settings # regardings the application procedure (e.g. submissions of files, required filenames, ...) # will be applied.
