Maintain Schedule of Classes Overview
Department Scheduler Training
Welcome to Schedule Builder Videos! Our videos will teach Department Schedulers to set up, edit, and approve academic courses and sections. This video is an overview of Maintain Schedule of Classes. Most of your scheduling work will be done in this application.
Maintain Schedule of Classes is used to add or update courses created during a term roll or in Schedule New Course. If you need to add a new course, use Schedule New Course.

- View All: to see all the sections at once
- First & Last: to view the first and last section
- Or, the arrow buttons: to scroll
Sections are not automatically sorted. New sections will be added AFTER the section you are in when you choose “+”. Consider this when adding new Class Sections.
At the bottom of the page, you have options to:
- Save: to Save changes made to the course. It is recommended to Save your work after each edit.
- Return to Search: returns you to the initial search.
- Previous in List/Next in List: If you did not select a specific course in the initial search, you can scroll through the other courses using these buttons. Next is Biology 105. Now Biology 106…
Other Options
At the top right of the page, Related Content opens certain applications in the same window. This is especially useful when working with combined sections. For instance, you could edit the instructor in Schedule Class Meetings, then go back to Maintain Schedule of Classes to make section specific edits, such as enrollment capacity.
New Window opens another window in myWSU, so that you can have another application open at the same time. For instance, you may want to check Class Facility Usage while you are editing a section. New window allows you to have both open at the same time.
