What is the best synonym for โ€œopenโ€ here?

Thank you

It means they have room for more students. If a class has no more room it is said to be full.

You can say โ€œIt is open for enrollment.โ€ However this can have a second meaning. For example if a class starts on August 20, enrollment might start three months prior to that on May 20. So it might be said "Enrollment opens on May 20.

a good synonym would be: available for enrollment or participation.

This one shifts the focus to timing and tells us when exactly the classes take place.
