Reference Guide - Add a New Class Section

Overview

 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.)
