Add a New Class Section
Before You Begin...
At the beginning of each term, scheduling coordinators will create a new class section for each class that will be offered by their department that wasn't included in the class roll. (The class roll is when the registrar's office rolls the prior like term's schedule to the next term.)
You should have the following information prior to beginning your new class section:
Term
Department (this is the Subject field in PeopleSoft)
Catalog Number (for the course)
Instructor
Meeting Pattern (when will the class meets)
Component (lecture, lab, discussion?)
Instruction Mode (in person, online, hybrid)
Enrollment Capacity (how many students will be in the class)
Waitlist (will you offer a waitlist for the class?)
Permissions (will this be a permission only class?)
Reserve Capacity (will you need to reserve space in the class for a subset of students, such as Seniors, Majors, Milestones, etc.?)
