Modifying Class Data After Sections Combined
- Elysia Gallinaro
Overview
If Classes have been linked by using Combined Sections the Class Meeting Pattern/Instructor panel in the Schedule of Classes panel group is grayed out and no modifications can be made to this panel. If modifications to Facility, Meet Pattern, Meet Start and End, Meet Pattern Details or Instructor are required for these classes, they must be done in the Schedule Class Meetings panel group.
Changes to class enrollment capacity limits, for Classes that are linked by using Combined Sections, must be made in the Combined Sections Panel first, and then the limits can change within the individual Classes.
Business Process
After Sections have been combined you must use the Schedule Class Meetings Panels to make any changes to meeting patterns or Instructors. These changes cannot be made in the Schedule of Classes for combined sections, but have to be mad in the Schedule Class Meetings Panels.

When a class is closed, increasing the class limit first and then the total combined limit will not "open" the course. Following the above procedure will "open" the course
