4. Create a Class Association

This section introduces the steps for creating class associations for classes with multiple components (i.e. students needing to enroll into a Lecture, Lab, and Recitation for one class or any combination of two or more components that are not the same.)

At the completion of this section, you will be able to:

  • View all courses from the course catalog that can be or have been scheduled for a term
  • Set up a group of classes that are associated with each other
  • Set up auto-enroll for associated classes
  1. Add a lecture to the schedule for multi-component class
    • Enter a Class Section number.
    • Use the magnifying glass next to the Component box to change the component type.
    • Change the Class Type drop-down box to Non-Enroll component.
    • Enter an Associated Class number.

  2. Add a lab to the schedule for multi-component class.
    • Enter a different Class Section number.
    • Use the magnifying glass next to the Component box to change the component type if necessary.
    • You may add multiple lab sections to correspond with the lecture.
    • Change the Class Type drop-down box to Enrollment component.
    • Enter the SAME Associated Class number as the previously added lecture.

  3. Add a recitation to the schedule for multi-component class.
    • Enter a different Class Section number.
    • Use the magnifying glass next to the Component box to change the component type if necessary.
      • You may add multiple recitation sections to correspond with the lecture.
    • Change the Class Type drop-down box to Non-Enroll component.
    • Enter the  SAME Associated Class number as the previously added lecture.

  4. On the Meetings tab, schedule sections so the three components do not conflict with each other.
  5. On the Enrollment Cntrl tab, enter the section numbers of the corresponding lecture and recitation (the Non-Enroll components) to the 1st Auto Enroll Section and 2nd Auto Enroll Section boxes on the lab (the Enrollment component).
    • When auto-enroll is set up, students only have to enroll in the Enrollment component, and SIS will auto-enroll them into the other required components.
    • You cannot auto-enroll components into the same component type (i.e. lecture cannot be auto-enrolled into another lecture.)
    • If auto--enroll is not set up, the system will prompt students to enroll into the additional required components.

  6. Once the multi-component class is built, use Update Sections of a Class as a reference to ensure proper setup.
    • A new association with a new lecture, labs and recitations can also be added by using a new Associated Class number in the next sequence.
