Overview of Courses and Course Sections

A course represents an element of teaching, learning or research within a specific subject area.

Courses are assigned a single academic organization ownership based on the subject you select when you create the course. This controls which organization has responsibility for the course, such as academic department.

You can add various data for a course such as result types, fees, identifiers, contacts, and requisites.

After you create a course, you can schedule the course sections, in which students enroll. You can create meeting information for a section so that students know when and where the section is available and the staff assigned to the section.

Ultimately, students can search and view their courses in the course catalog, program requirements, student schedule, and enroll in selected course sections.
