A course seat represents an enrollment track, sometimes called an enrollment
mode. For information about the enrollment tracks that edX offers, see
:ref:`enrollment track<enrollment_track_g>`.

You create course seats by creating a course on the **Create New Course** page
in the course administration tool, which is located at
``http://localhost:8002/courses/``. After you create a course, the E-Commerce
service creates the course seats that are associated with that course.

To create a course seat, follow these steps.
