Adding & Editing Sections

The scheduling unit screen provides a list of all courses and sections assigned to a scheduling unit. A scheduling unit is a group of courses that are scheduled together. For many institutions, scheduling units are defined as departments or subjects.

The scheduling unit screen can be used to add, edit, and remove sections from a course.

• Collapse All Arrows – Hide all sections under a course
• Green + Plus Button – Add Section
• Red X Button – Delete all Sections under a course
