Creating a combined section set
You should use this procedure to create a combined section set. Combined sections are also referred to as cross-listed sections.
There are two types of sections in a combined section set:
- sponsor sections (i.e., home)
- non-sponsor sections (i.e., alias)
The sponsor section is the controlling section. It must be created before any of the non-sponsor sections and is the section that must be accessed in order to make changes to meeting times, rooms, or combined enrollment maximums.
Creating combined sections involves five general steps:
- deciding which courses are to be crosslisted
- adding the sponsor section
- adding and linking the non-sponsor sections
- verifying what you have entered, and, if appropriate
- setting the individual maximum enrollment
Procedure
For each set of courses, identify the sponsor and the non-sponsor sections:
SPONSOR
- Enter NC for INST.
- Enter the appropriate academic unit for AU (DN, GU, LW, MD).
- Enter the course data in COURSE ID, specifying the course section ID of the sponsor section in the CRS field.
- Press the enter key.
- Enter an A in the FUNCTION field.
- Verify and/or update SECTION ACTIVITY field.
- Enter the total number of tickets you want for the combined section in the MAX ENR field. The combined section total would be the total number of tickets you want in both the sponsor and non-sponsor sections.
- Press the enter key.
- Enter a C in the CS SET-UP field.
- Press the enter key.
- Enter an S in the COMBND SECT STAT field.
- Enter the sponsor course in the COURSE SECTION ID of the sponsor section in the SPONS field. (In this case, the COURSE SECTION ID would be the same as the one on the action line.)
- Press the enter key.
- Using screen 130, enter instructor information and teaching load data as appropriate. (See HOW TO ADD INSTRUCTORS TO A COURSE SECTION.)
- Using screen 134, enter the meeting pattern and other data as appropriate. (See HOW TO SPECIFY MEETING PATTERNS.)
- Using screen 143, enter restrictions data for the sponsor section as appropriate. (See HOW TO DEFINE RESTRICTIONS FOR A COURSE SECTION.)
NON-SPONSOR
- On screen 129 enter NC for INST.
- Enter appropriate academic unit for AU (DN, GU, LW, MD).
- Enter course data in the COURSE SECTION ID for the non-sponsor section in the CRS field.
- Enter the TERM code.
- Press the enter key.
- Enter an A in the FUNCTION field.
- Verify and/or update activity type.
- Enter the number of tickets you want for the section in the "MAX ENR" field, and press the enter key. (This would be the number of tickets the sponsor is allowing you to have for your course section.)
- Using screen 143, enter restriction data for the non-sponsor section as appropriate. (See HOW TO DEFINE RESTRICTIONS FOR COURSE SECTION.)
- On screen 129, enter a C in the CS-SET UP field.
- Press the enter key.
- Enter an N in the COMBND SECT STAT field.
- Enter the COURSE SECTION ID of the sponsor section in the SPONS field.
- Press the enter key.
- Repeat these Non-Sponsor procedures for each non-sponsor section in the set.
- Verify combined sections exist on screen 132.
IMPORTANT
Restrictions can be defined for both sponsor and non-sponsor sections. However, the non-sponsor must set these before linking to the sponsor section. Once the non-sponsor sections have been successfully linked to the sponsor, the system sees these sections as being owned by the sponsor. After linking the sections, the non-sponsor would need to ask the sponsor department to make any adjustments to the non-sponsor sections (i.e. restrictions, maximum enrollment, meeting patterns, instructor data, etc).
SPONSOR
Set individual maximum enrollment for sections:
- Using screen 129 enter the INST, AU, Sponsor COURSE SECTION ID, TERM code and press the enter key.
- Go to MAX ENR field.
- The top line shows the individual tickets for the sponsor course section.
- The bottom figure represents the combined section total.
- This combined section total is the total number of tickets that you want in both the sponsor and non-sponsor sections.
- Note that currently both fields show the same number of tickets.
- To reduce the individual tickets, tab to the top line under MAX ENR field and type in the number of tickets you want for the sponsor section only and press the enter key.
- Now the top line will show the new individual tickets of the sponsor section and the bottom figure will retain the combined section total.
Deleting a Course Section/Combined Section Set
You should use this procedure to remove a course section from a term during the requisitioning process. Deleting a section involves five steps:
- disconnecting the sections if it is a combined section,
- removing any instructors assigned to the section,
- deleting any meeting patterns,
- deleting the course section record, and
- verifying the deletion.
Procedure
- If the section is a combined section, disconnect it on screen 129 as follows; otherwise, go to step 2.
- Disconnect the non-sponsor sections first, then proceed to disconnect the sponsor section.
- Enter the required data on the Action Line.
- Press the enter key.
- Enter a C in the CRS SET-UP field.
- Press the enter key.
- Blank out the data in the COMBND SECT STAT and SPONS fields.

- Enter an R in the RESTR FLAG field. This tells the system to reject the course requests of students failing the restriction check.
- Enter an E (exclude) or an I (include) in the appropriate INCL/EXCL field.
- If you enter an E, the system will exclude students who match these restrictions. For example:
- If you want a class open to everyone except freshmen, enters an E in the INCL/EXCL field and FR (the classification code) in the CLASSES field.
- If you enter an I, the system will include students who match these restrictions. For example:
- If you want classes open only to Sociology majors, enter an I in the INCL/EXCL field and SOCI (the major code) in the MAJORS field.
- You may restrict enrollment by college, classification, or major.
- Update the restrictions field with the appropriate record codes established for classification and/or college/major restrictions.
- Press the enter key.
Deleting Restrictions
Procedure

OR, To delete every restriction on Screen 143:
- Enter a D in the DELETE field.
- Press the enter key.
IMPORTANT
College and major restrictions are connected by an OR. This means that a student who meets college criteria for inclusion or exclusion will not be checked for a match on major. If a major restriction has been defined, a college does not need to be defined unless they are different).
For screen values or record codes, use the help screen. If you define restrictions for a course section you should enter the appropriate footnote code on Screen 129.

145 Block Registration
On screen 145, you will learn how to: define the course sections that make up a block registration control section.
When a student registers for a block control section, he or she is automatically registered for all of the associated block member sections, assuming the sections are open and other standard registration criteria are met.
You should perform this procedure only when a set of standard courses are to be taken as a group by students and a control section is needed for registration purposes.
Creating a block of sections involves four steps:
- identifying the courses in the block,
- creating the control section,
- creating the member sections, and
- linking them to the control section.

Define Block Sections
Procedure
- Determine which course sections will be members of the block.
- Determine which course and section number will be the block control section. (NOTE: The student is never actually registered for the block control section; he or she is registered for the members of the block represented by the control section.)
- Using Screen 129, enter the INST, AU, specify the course section ID of the control section in the CRS field, enter the term code, and press the enter key. (The control section serves as a "dummy" course that you set up through the University Scheduling Office, such as LAW_010, title = LAW/BLOCK.)
- Enter the number of tickets you want for the control section in the MAX ENR field, a B in the SEC CTL field,
- Enter an N in the VRR AVL field, and press the enter key.
- Using Screen 129, type the ID of a member section in the CRS field on the Action Line.
- Press the enter key.
- Verify the activity type.
- Enter the tickets in the MAX ENR field.
- Leave the SEC CTL field blank.
- Enter an N in the VRR AVL field.
- Press the enter key.
- Using Screen 130, enter the appropriate data to add the instructor(s) to the section. (See Screen 130, or HOW TO ADD INSTRUCTORS TO A COURSE SECTION for detailed instructions.)
- Using screen 134, enter the meeting pattern and other data as appropriate. (See Screen 134 or HOW TO SPECIFY MEETING PATTERNS for detailed instructions.)
- Create the other sections following the previous steps.
- Using screen 145, enter the INST, AU, COURSE SECTION ID, and TERM CODE on the Action Line, with the course ID of the block control section in the CRS field, and press the enter key.
- Enter the member course section IDs, one to a line.
- Press the enter key.
