Manage Courses and Sections

Some administrators will have permission to manage courses and sections in addition to those they build or instruct.

1. Choose Professional Learning from the main menu.

2. Choose Manage, then Manage Courses or Manage Sections.

3. Click a course or section title.

You can:

• Update courses and sections

• Manage a section roster

• Manage a section waitlist

• Record section attendance

Starting v25.9.0.0, the header row in the Manage Courses and Manage Sections grids will now stay visible as you scroll. This feature makes it easier to navigate large lists of courses or sections while keeping column labels in view. This ensures that you always know which data belongs to which column, even when working with long records.

Reopen a section

1. Click the Participants number for the section to reopen.

2. Click Reopen Section.

3. Enter a Reopen Reason.

4. Click Reopen Section.

Archive courses and sections

Archived courses and sections are now set to be non-editable to maintain data integrity. Once a course or section is archived, edits are restricted unless the course/section is unarchived or copied.

Even though archived courses are non-editable, you can still perform the following actions:

• Copy sections

• Manage attendance

• Cancel sections

However, you cannot modify:

• Section settings

• Room assignments

• Instructor lists

Add custom instructions

Super users can now add custom sub-header instructions to specific course fields (such as Course Title and Course Description) directly within course forms.

This feature provides tailored guidance for different course types and allows you to override default Field Bank instructions as needed.

When custom instructions are added, the system will prioritize them. If no custom instructions are provided, the system will fall back to Field Bank instructions or display no text.

To add a custom instruction:

1. Open the Course Form for the desired course.

2. Locate the field where you want to add instructions, for example: Course Title, Course Number, Course Description, Credit Areas.

3. Click the pen icon to edit the field.

4. In the Instructions/Supporting Text entry box, type your custom instructions.

   • These instructions will appear as sub-headers for the selected field.

   • If Field Bank instructions exist, your custom instructions will override them.

5. Select Show in Details to display the instructions in detail views.

6. Click Done Editing to save your changes.

Manage archived courses

When managing multiple courses at once, remember:

• Edits are allowed only on unarchived courses.

• An information icon appears at the start of the bulk management workflow, highlighting that archived courses will not be updated.

• If edits are required, make the necessary changes before archiving.

If you need to make changes to an archived course or section, you must first:

1. Unarchive the course/section, or

2. Create a copy of the course/section

Once unarchived or copied, full editing capabilities will be restored.
