How do I add administrative data for course sections?
You add administrative data such as course types, result types, fees to a course, and course section attribute dates.
-
From Student Central, click Search and search for Course Sections, and then select a course.
-
On the Administrative Data tab, click Course Types and then select:
- Course Type: Course type represents the component of a course such as lab and lecture. The course types that you add here are available for you to select when you create meetings for course sections.
- Instructional Method: Instructional method indicates how the course is offered, such as in person, online or blended. This isn't a required field. The methods you select here for the course are available for when you create course sections. If you don’t select a method for the course, all methods are available when you create course sections.
-
To grade the course, you must add result types here. If the course section is gradable, click Result Types and select Gradable. You can only add result types here if you added them during course setup. Add only the result types that relate to this specific course section.
-
If relevant, use the Other Result Types section to add midterm result types. You can only add result types here if you added them during course setup.
-
Click Fees. To add a fee:
-
Click Add Fee.
-
Search for the fee.
-
Click the fee to add it to the Current Selections box.
-
When you’ve completed your selections, click Add.
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.

Click Section Attribute Dates to add attribute dates for this section or edit the inherited attribute source.
Configure course section attribute dates by seeing the date values inherited from the course section's associated academic period. You can change section attribute dates to section-specific values and revert these values back to the date values inherited from the associated academic period. Also, you can choose an option to inherit attribute dates from a different academic period.
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 decide 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. See Drop Schemes for more information.
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.
