Create sections in coordinator courses

Updated 19 Feb 2024

After you make all the changes you want to sections in the coordinator course, the coordinator can create those sections.

Do not create sections until you have made all your changes to the coordinator course. After sections are created, further changes you make to the primary course do not appear in the member courses.

  5. Click GO.
  6. Enter the number of sections you want to create and click Update.
  7. In the course name boxes, enter a unique title for each section. For example, you might include the section instructor’s or teaching assistant's name (as in History 101 – Liu) or the days on which the section meets (as in History 101 – M,W,F).
  8. Select or enter the course enrollment and duration dates.
  9. Click Create Courses Now.
  10. Note the IDs of the sections on the Confirmation page.
  11. Choose whether to return to your Courses page, create or copy another course, or log out.
