7. Click Fees.

8. Adding fees is optional. Course section fees aren't tied to the fees setup on the course.

   Here's how you add a fee:

   1. Click Add Fee.

   2. Search for the fee.

   3. Click the fee to add it to the Current Selections box.

   4. When you’ve completed your selections, click Add.

9. Click Section Attribute Dates to add attribute dates for this section.

   If you add drop attribute dates, the drop process uses these dates. For example, a particular course section has a last date to withdraw which is different from the last date to withdraw for other sections in the academic period. In this case, the drop process uses the date on the section to determine if and how a student can drop the section.

   If drop attribute dates don't exist for a course section, the drop process uses the academic period attribute dates. Drop Schemes

   Only drop attribute dates are used. Other attribute dates on the section (such as First Date to Enroll, Last Date to Enroll) aren’t used during the enrollment process.

10. Click Save.

Course Types

Instructional methods indicate how the course is offered, such as in person, online or blended. This isn't a required field. If you don’t select methods on course setup, all methods are available when you create course sections. If you select methods on the course setup, only those methods are available when you create course sections.

Fees

An academic period fee is calculated based on the summarized billing units of courses in which a student is enrolled for a specific reporting academic period. You can exclude the billing units for a course from the calculation.
