Course Section Information

Use this section of the page to define or display a section of a course. Use the Course Section Information section to access this section of the page.

You can define a section as traditional or open learning using the Section Type option group. When the field is set to Open Learning Section, additional fields are displayed in the Section Dates information for:

Duration
Duration Unit
Maximum Extensions
Registration Dates From
Registration Dates To
Learner Start Dates First
Learner Start Dates Last

The OLR Rules button is also displayed. Use this button to access SSARULE and view section level registration code, refunding, and extension rule information for open learning sections.

When you set up an open learning section, the Instructional Method, Registration Dates From, Registration Dates To, Duration, and Duration Unit fields should be considered as a unit of data and should be used in place of the Part of Term, Part of Term (From and To Dates), and Part of Term (Weeks) fields. The absence of a part of term defines an open learning course, and the section level rule processing will be invoked in registration and fee assessment processing for open learning sections. The Part of Term field is not required if the registration dates and duration information have been entered. When creating traditional sections, an appropriate part of term number should be manually entered.
