Blue Card

My daughter told me today that one of the classes she has signed up for was full, but that her adviser had "blue-carded" her into it. She assumed that I would know what it meant, but I didn't; neither did she, as it happens.
Can someone explain.

Remembered from MASH:
Frank: They're just *** doctors. (?Paraphrase)
Trapper: I wanted to be a *** doctor, but the proctology class was full.
