Start a new section or course

Most classes will be available in Maintain Schedule of Classes (MSC). If a class is available in MSC, open a new section by selecting the "+" icon in the Class Sections area.

If the course does not appear in Maintain Schedule of Classes, you will need to create a section in Schedule New Course.

Start the first section

Although Start New Course looks like Maintain Schedule of Classes, it does not have the same functionality. Your goal in this application is to simply start the initial section, Save, then leave the application and edit in Maintain Schedule of Classes. DO NOT APPROVE A CLASS in this application! Your changes will not be saved.

Note: It is important to add information in this specific order. Image 2 in the right sidebar shows examples.

1. Class Section: Set your first section number. Use at least two digits. Add a L after the number for a lab section.
2. Associated Class: This should match the Class Section for lectures. For labs, use the initial value of 9999.
3. Set the Component: All available options will be listed in the magnifying glass.
4. Save the Section. If the section won't save, enter any missing data that the error message asks for.
5. Move to Maintain Schedule of Classes to continue to edit the section and to add additional sections.
