o The Minimum and Maximum Units are often the same, except for a variable unit class. For a Variable Unit class, the minimum and maximum units constitute a range and the administrator can select anything within that range.

o Academic Progress Units for Course Offerings are automatically generated when minimum units are entered. The system uses academic progress units in conjunction with the billing factor to calculate billing units and, subsequently, per unit fees. The system also uses academic progress units to calculate academic load. Academic progress units are usually equal to the minimum/maximum units, except for a compensatory/remedial course.

o Financial Aid Progress Units for a Course Offering are the same as “equated credit”. They represent the number of units for the course that the system counts towards tracking a student's financial aid Load for a term. This is automatically generated when minimum units are entered. This can be modified.

o Enrollment Unit Load Calc Type (Calculation Type) should always be Academic Progress Units.

Add/Update Course Lists Course lists are helpful when specific groups of courses are repeatedly used as prerequisite requirements. For example, perhaps the same five introductory science courses are commonly used as pre-requisites for a variety of upper level science courses. A Course List can group them together for repeated use. Additionally, Course Lists offer the flexibility of adding additional requisite items for different courses to this same list. For instance, the introductory science Course List could be used for an advanced Physics course with the additional requisite of 3.5 GPA. That same course list could be used for an advanced Biology course without a GPA requirement, but with the condition of having a Biology plan (major).

Course lists can be used when specific groups of courses are repeatedly grouped as prerequisite requirements. They are often used in conjunction with other attributes of a course or condition requisite. 1. Navigation: Curriculum Management > Enrollment Requirements > Enrollment Requirement

Unit IV: Class Schedule I



Chapter 1: Copy Prior Term’s Schedule



Copy Prior Term Schedule (Batch Process) By far the easiest and most efficient means of creating a Schedule of Classes for a new term is to use the Copy Prior Term’s Schedule component. The term used would not be the term immediately prior, but the prior term that is most similar to the term whose schedule is now being created.

For example:

Classes to be scheduled in Fall 2014 may be copied from Fall 2013

Classes to be scheduled in Spring 2015 may be copied from Spring 2014

Once scheduled classes are copied forward from a prior term into a new term, the characteristics of a great majority of those classes—for example the number of sections, the meeting patterns of those sections, etc.—can remain unchanged. Any class can then be modified to meet the schedule requirements of the new term.

After scheduled classes are copied from a prior term and then modified, any additional course can then be added to the new term’s schedule using the Schedule a New Course component as described previously.

Step Description

1. Navigate to: Curriculum Management > Roll Curriculum Data Forward > Copy Prior Term’s Schedule


3. A Run Control ID is an identifier that, when paired with your User ID, uniquely identifies the process you are running. The Run Control ID defines parameters that are used when a process is run. This ensures that when a process runs in the background, the system does not prompt you for additional values. Enter the desired information into the Run Control ID field.


5. Use the Copy Prior Term's Schedule page to enter the request parameters. These parameters will be used to define the processing rules and data to be included when the process is run.

6. The system enters the Institution based on your user defaults. You can change this value if necessary.

7. Use the Roll From Term field to indicate the term from which you want to copy classes (the source term). Click in the Roll From Term field.

8. Enter the desired information into the Roll From Term field.

9. Use the Roll To Term field to indicate the term to which you want to copy classes (the target term). Click in the Roll To Term field

10. Enter the desired information into the Roll To Term field.

11. Click the Copy Prior Term's Schedule2 tab.

12. Use the Copy Prior Term's Schedule2 page to define the class status and roll options for the process.

13. Parts of the schedule can be rolled to the next term by using the fields in this grid to specify academic group, subject area, etc.



14. At this point, you would continue to run the Copy Prior Term process just as you would any other PeopleSoft Enterprise Process Scheduler process. Refer to the Running Reports module for examples of running a process.

15. Click the Schedule of Classes link.

16. Click the Maintain Schedule of Classes link.

17. Enter the desired information into the Term field.



20. In the Search Results, you can view the Biology classes that are now scheduled for the selected term.

End of Procedure.



Chapter 2 – Update Data from Course Catalog to Class Schedule



Roll Data from Course Catalog When certain changes have been made to a course in the Course Catalog and that course has already been scheduled in a given term, those changes can be automatically updated in all the sections of that scheduled class using the Course Roll component.

Step Description

1. Navigate to: Curriculum Management > Roll Curriculum Data Forward > Course Roll


3. Click in the Term field.




7. Click in the Catalog Nbr field.



10. Use the Course Roll page to select a course offering that is already scheduled, and if necessary to synchronize the sessions with the latest course catalog information.

11. Compare the course catalog information on the top of the page with the Institution, Career, Term, Session, Academic Group, Class Nbr, Subject, Catalog, Section, and Description (course title) values for the scheduled class sections listed in the Class Sections grid. If these values are different, click the Course Roll button to synchronize the scheduled class sections with the latest course catalog offering information. The system rolls the course catalog data down to the schedule of classes for each class section that is scheduled for the course during the term and session you specify. The system processes the request and immediately displays the prospective changes to the schedule of classes’ results in the Class Sections area. This is your opportunity to review the results of the roll process. If you are not satisfied with the results, do not save the page. Simply exit the page, and no update to the schedule of classes occurs. On the other hand, if you are satisfied with the results of the roll process, save the page to confirm and update the schedule of classes.

12. Click the Course Roll button.

End of Procedure.

End of Procedure.



Unit V: Class Schedule II



Chapter 1 - Schedule a New Course



Schedule New Course The Schedule New Course component is used to add a course to an existing Schedule of Classes. In most cases, a Schedule of Classes for a given term at a given college will already have been created using the Copy Prior Term’s Schedule.

If for any reason the Registrar and/or Academic Department determine that a previous term’s schedule cannot be copied to the upcoming term, the Schedule New Course component can be used to create the entire Schedule of Classes.

To Schedule a New Course, we will enter data on six pages: Basic Data, Meetings, Enrollment Control, Reserve Cap, Notes and Exams.

Step Description

1. Navigate to Curriculum Management > Schedule of Classes > Schedule New Course.

2. When you open the Schedule of Classes search page, the system displays the user default values you set up. To override these values and select new criteria, click the Clear button.

3. Select a value for the Academic Institution. Ex: Queens College

4. Select a value for Term. Ex: Spring 2011

5. Select a value for Subject Area. Ex: English

6. If desired, enter a value for Catalog Nbr or any of the remaining search fields. This will limit the number of search results.


8. BASIC DATA PAGE. Use the Basic Data page to define sections, set permission requirements, and designate any class attributes.

9. Click the Auto Create Component button to have the system automatically create one component for each of the components you have selected to auto create on the Course Catalog - Components page. The system populates the pages in the schedule of classes with the required data for first of each component. This ensures that one section for each component is scheduled. If you have multiple class sections for each component type, you must still define the remaining class sections manually.

10. Select the type of session to which the class sections of this course offering belong.

11. The Class Section field represents a unique alphanumeric designator for a class section. For example, the ARTH 250 class could have 20 sections; each would have a unique section number.

12. The system populates this field by default to the graded component on the Catalog Data page (such as Lecture, Laboratory, Discussion, and so on) of the course. You can have multiple components and sections within a course offering.



13. The class type of Enrollment indicates which section is the primary section at enrollment time. The class type of Non-Enrollment is used to indicate that the section choice is the student's secondary enrollment option, or that the section is used in auto-enrollment. Within a class, only one component can possess the class type of Enrollment. For example, Microbiology 240 has Lecture, Laboratory, and Discussion components. There are 5 lecture, 10 laboratory, and 15 discussion sections. We might select the discussion sections as the Enrollment sections, the lecture sections as the Non-Enrollment section using auto-enrollment, and the laboratory sections as Non-Enrollment sections with a student choice of lab section at enrollment time.

14. Select an associated class number from the list box, or enter an Associated Class value of your own. By using associated class numbers, you link class sections that constitute a single course offering. For example, you can gather a certain number of lecture, lab, and discussion sections into one associated class number to indicate that the three components are related to one another. If you are scheduling a new section, the system populates the Associated Class field with 1 by default. When you schedule the first section of a course offering and use the prompt box, the system only displays this default value. You can use a prompt value, or you can manually enter any new one to four digit numbers into the field. Upon saving the page, the system extracts the necessary course data from the course catalog, creates a row in the Class Associations component for this class association number, and populates the row with the appropriate course catalog data. When a student enrolls in a class, the system verifies that the student has enrolled in a section with all required components of the course from within the same associated class number.

15. The system populates the Campus field by default from the Course Catalog - Offerings page, indicating the campus that offers the course. You cannot revise this default. If a specific campus was not identified in the course catalog and does not default, then you can, on a section-by-section basis, schedule classes at various campuses.

16. Select the location of the campus. Location values are linked to campuses on the Campus Table page. A campus must be specified before you select a location.

17. The system populates the academic organization by default from the Course Catalog - Offerings page. The academic organization refers to the organization that offers the class. You can override this value.

18. The system populates the holiday schedule by default from the Course Catalog - Offerings page.

19. The system populates this field by default to In Person, but you can override the value. The instruction mode indicates how the class is taught, such as in person, hybrid etc.

20. The system populates the Start/End Date field by default to the start and end dates of the session. You can override the dates for an individual class.

21. The Add Fee button will be used by the Bursar’s office at this time.

22. Check the Schedule Print checkbox for this class to be printed in the Schedule of Classes. (This box will be checked by default)



23. If relevant, use the Course Topic ID look-up tool to select the ID corresponding to a topic defined for this course on the Catalog Data page of the Course Catalog.

24. Equivalent Course Groups are defined on the Course Equivalencies page of Course Catalog. The course is added to a group of equivalent courses for requisite checking and degree progress requirement purposes. If the course is linked to an equivalent course group on the Catalog Data page, the system displays that information in this field and the Override Equivalent Course check box becomes available for selection.

25. Use the Override Equivalent Course checkbox to override the Catalog Data setting for this class section

26. If available use the Class Equivalent Course Group field to enter another equivalent course group for the class section.

27. The system populates the Course Attributes and Course Attribute Value fields (ie: “Clinical,” “Dissertation,” “Independent Study” etc.) from the Course Catalog. These values can be overridden or amended.

28. MEETINGS PAGE. Click the Meetings tab. Note: For each Meeting Pattern, an instructor "ID" and corresponding "Grade Roster Access" must be selected.

29. Use the Meetings page to define class meeting patterns and facilities, link instructors to classes, and specify room characteristics.

30. Select a value for the Facility ID field. Room capacity will default based upon selection.

31. Click in the Pat field, which defines the days/times of Meeting Patterns.

35. Click in the Mtg End field. The system populates an end time after you enter a start time, based on the normal class duration defined for this meeting pattern.

36. If relevant, select the appropriate value for the Topic ID field. Check the Print Topic on Transcript checkbox if desired.

37. The Contact Hours link will provide details on the Instructor Contact hours and weeks of instruction for this course.

38. Workload Coordinators or related individuals will use the Instructors for Meeting Pattern section to assign instructors and workload data.

39. Select the appropriate Instructor from the ID field.

40. Select a value to indicate the Role of the instructor.

41. Use the Print checkbox to have the instructor’s name printed in the Schedule of Classes.

42. Select an Access value for the ability to Approve, Grade, or Post grades.



43. The EMPL Rec number must be associated with the correct Job Code for Instructing this class. Reminder: The Workload Coordinator or related individual will select the appropriate values for this and all fields in the Instructors for Meeting Patter tab.

44. The Workload tab will default instructors ID, Name and Assign Type. The Load Factor and Workload Hours will default from data entered in the Course Catalog.

45. Use the Room Characteristics section to select any pertinent characteristics for the room assignment.

46. ENROLLMENT CONTROL PAGE. Click the Enrollment Cntrl tab.

47. Use the Enrollment Cntrl page to set enrollment limits and capacity requirements, and to identify sections for which you want the system to autoenroll students.

48. Use the Class Status drop-down menu to identify class as Active, Cancelled, Tentative or to Stop Further Enrollment. When Cancelled is selected, the Cancel Class button will become available to complete cancellation process.

49. Values for the Add Consent and Drop Consent fields default from the Catalog Data page and indicate any type of consent (Instructor or Department) that is required to enroll in or drop the class. You can override these values. If you select Instructor or Department, consent is granted either by a permission number or a student specific permission. (Drop permissions are always student specific.) The consent requirement can also be overridden during the enrollment process, by selecting the permission override.

50. Requested Room Capacity for the class enables changes to the enrollment capacity without affecting room scheduling. The system populates the Requested Room Capacity field by default from the section size on the Components page of the Course Catalog – this value can be changed.

51. Enrollment Capacity refers to the number of students who may enroll in this section. The system populates the Enrollment Capacity field by default from the Default Section Size field on the Components page of the Course Catalog – this value can be changed.

52. The Auto Enroll fields are used to automatically enroll students in associated non-enroll components of a class. The system automatically enrolls a student in the section(s) designated here when that student enrolls in the section designated Class Type “Enrollment.” The auto enroll sections must be different components from the parent section, must be designated Class Type “Non-Enroll,” and must share the same Associated Class number as the parent section.

53. The Wait List capacity for the section indicates the maximum number of students allowed to wait list for the class.

54. Enter the Minimum Enrollment Number in order for the section to be offered. If the minimum enrollment number is not realized, a decision may be made to cancel the section.

55. Resection to Section indicates the alternative section in which the system automatically enrolls a student if the primary section is full.

56. If the Wait List functionality is used, select Auto Enroll from Wait List to move students from the wait list to enrolled status when a space opens up in the section.



57. RESERVE CAPACITY PAGE. Click the Reserve Cap tab.

58. Use the Reserve Cap page to assign reserve capacities for class sections. Reserve capacities are enrollment requirement groups that set aside a certain number of seats in a class section for students who meet certain criteria such as academic level, cumulative GPA, or number of units earned.

59. The system creates the Reserve Capacity Sequence number indicating the order in which it evaluates the sets of requirement groups during enrollment. This number can be changed.

60. Enrollment Total reflects the total number of students enrolled as part of this reserve capacity sequence.

61. The Reserve Capacity Requirement Start Date is the effective date that the specified Requirement Group is to take effect for this reserve capacity.

62. If relevant, select the Requirement Group that is to take effect on the specified start date within this Reserve Capacity.

63. The Cap Enrl (Capacity Enrollment) field indicates the maximum number of seats to be reserved for students who satisfy the requirement group parameters.

End of Procedure.



Schedule Class Meetings When a course is added for the first time to the Schedule of Classes in a given term and session, using the Schedule a New Course component, the meeting patterns, instructor assignments and exam schedules for each of the created sections can be established at that time or can be added later. They also may be updated at any time.

Class meeting information can be entered or modified for sections of a class already existing in the Schedule of Classes either through the Maintain Schedule of Classes component or through the Schedule Class Meetings component discussed here.

Note: An advantage of using the Schedule Class Meetings component is that we can open, view and modify the meeting data for a single section of a class, and then (if necessary) easily navigate among the other sections of that class to add or update the meeting data of those other sections.

Step Description

1. Navigate to: Curriculum Management > Schedule of Classes > Schedule Class Meetings

2. When you open the Schedule Class Meetings search page, the system displays the user default values you set up. In this example, you want to retrieve information for the Fall 2007 term, so you need to override these values. Click the Clear button.





7. Select a value from the Academic Career list.

8. Select a value from the Session list.

9. Enter the desired information into the Class Nbr field.

19. Enter the desired information into the ID field.

20. Click the Enrollment Cntrl tab.



21. Use the Enrollment Cntrl page to update class status values.

22. Most fields on this page are unavailable for editing because the primary purpose for accessing this class meeting is to update the class status value. For example, when you need to cancel a class that has multiple sections, doing so through this component (as opposed to canceling the section through the Schedule of Classes component) proves most efficient.

23. Click the Exam tab.

Chapter 5 – Create and Modify Class Permissions



Update Student Specific Permission Class Permissions are used to override certain enrollment restrictions, allowing students to Add or Drop scheduled classes.

Note: Add Permissions can override the Room Capacity of a scheduled class; therefore it is important to check the current enrollment (on the Enrollment Control page of the Schedule of Classes) and the capacity of the scheduled facility (on the Meetings page of the Schedule of Classes) before granting Add Permissions that may cause the enrollment to exceed the capacity of the scheduled facility.

Before setting Add permissions for a scheduled class, the Student Specific Permissions checkbox (located on the Basic Data page of the Schedule of classes) must either be:

Selected to enable student specific Add permissions – or – Cleared to enable general class Add permissions.

Step Description


2. When you open the Maintain Schedule of Classes search page, the system displays the user default values you set up. In this example, you want to retrieve information for the Fall 2007 term, so you need to override these values. Click the Clear button.

28. Use the Permission to Add page to create student-specific or general class permission numbers for adding classes.

29. This is the default expire date. You can change this date. When you create permissions for a class, the system populates the Expire Date column with the default date value. The system retrieves the value for the Default Date field from the Session Time Period table or the Session Table.

30. Use these check boxes to specify which conditions a class permission overrides. For example, if you select Requisites Not Met, and do not select Closed Class, the class permission will allow students to enroll in the class if they do not meet the prerequisites, but not if the class is full.

31. Click in the ID field.


33. Click the Add Row button.


35. Click the Add Row button.


Click the vertical scrollbar.

Chapter 6 - Combine Sections



*Create/Update Combined Sections When there is a need to offer two or more separate classes as one class offering, they can be combined into a single Combined Section. An example of a need to combine sections might be the following: To offer both courses in the Schedule of Classes each semester, yet have the courses be taught as a single class (with one instructor, one location, one meeting pattern, and so on), we can combine sections. Students who enroll in the Economics department version can use one class number to enroll, and students who enroll in the Business Department's version can use a different class number to enroll. Sections can be combined permanently or for a single class occurrence. We can also combine sections within or across subjects. When classes are linked to a combined section, they are all given the same event ID.

Min / Max Units: The system displays the default minimum and maximum units for incoming courses within this component subject area. For example, user may want to specify the same incoming course twice but differentiate each specification by how many units are earned. In this case, specify the same incoming course multiple times but with different minimum and maximum unit ranges.

Maximum Age: This field defines the maximum age in years of the incoming course. This prevents an individual from transferring credit for this course to your academic institution when the individual took the course more years ago than the number that you specify here. By default, the system sets the maximum age of an incoming course to 99 years, but users can override this default value.

*Create Course Transfer Equivalency Rules (External) Before transfer credit can be posted to the system using the automated process, the Incoming Courses offered by a source institution must be associated with their Internal Equivalents at the target institution, using the Transfer Subject Area component. It is recommended that user maps out on paper the rules that they will be using for accepting transfer credit before building the needed Transfer Subject Areas.

Step Description



Enter value for the Academic Institution that will be the recipient of the course credit

Select the Credit Source Type = External from drop down

Enter or lookup value for the Source ID field. o Note: This is the ID for the non-CUNYfirst College from which user will be

processing transfer credit.

Enter the appropriate subject in the Component Subject Area. Typically the Department Code from the external institution with “-ALL” such as SOC-ALL for Sociology.



Enter value for the Effective date field.

Enter value for the Status field

Enter value for the Description field. This is typically the name of the department such as Sociology.

Enter the default Min/Max Grade Pts Per Unit (Minimum and Maximum Grade Points Per Unit for all incoming courses)

Select Internal Equiv Course Value. „Specify Fixed Units’ is the default. This is a required field.

Note: The fields in the ‘Component Defaults’ section define default information for incoming courses that the user selects for this transfer subject area on the ‘Subject Area Elements’ page. User can later override these default values for an individual incoming course by selecting the ‘Incoming Course Information link’ on the Subject Area Elements page. These defaults do not engage until user has completed one full course equivalency setup and save the Transfer Subject Area. Users can add more rows (and more equivalencies) with these component defaults active.

Begin / End Date: These dates inform the Transfer Credit process when this incoming course is valid for the course transfer equivalency rule to which you attach this component subject area.

Min / Max Units: The system displays the default minimum and maximum units for incoming courses within this component subject area. For example, user may want to specify the same incoming course twice but differentiate each specification by how many units are earned. In this case, specify the same incoming course multiple times but with different minimum and maximum unit ranges.

Maximum Age: This field defines the maximum age in years of the incoming course. This prevents an individual from transferring credit for this course to your academic institution when the individual took the course more years ago than the number that you specify here. By default, the system sets the maximum age of an incoming course to 99 years, but users can override this default value. For instance, user may want to restrict individuals from receiving transfer credit for a course when an individual has taken the course more than 4 years previous to the date the institution processes that individual’s transfer credit.

End of Procedure.



*Evaluate Transfer Credit – Overrides and Exception Processing

Occasionally an articulation result will be in question whether it was posted using predefined articulations or manually. This may be by Admissions use of contingent credit, by appeal of student, and/or by review of an academic school or department. Therefore equivalent course information might need to be adjusted on an individual basis. This could also be the result of an automated course credit result that yields “no rule” or a result that is in question or rejected.

If there is a change that you must protect from a possible re-FETCH of course credits, use the lock checkbox to prevent the groups from being updated during a rerun of the Transfer Credit Process. To

activate the lock, simply select the Lock check box ( ) on the appropriate row of the model.
