There can be one or more configurations per instructional offering. Each of them should be an approved configuration. This is not automatically checked against the course catalog at the time of entry. Use the Course Catalog link to see the approved configurations.

For each configuration, the following operations are available

  • Edit Configuration

  • Assign Instructors
    • Go to the Assign Instructors screen where you can set instructors for each of the classes of this configuration


The configuration consists of two parts

  • The light blue shaded area contains information about scheduling subparts; clicking on a line with a subpart takes you to the Scheduling Subpart Detail screen
  • The area with white background contains information about classes; clicking on a line with a class takes you to the Class Detail screen


Most of the columns in the Configuration part of this screen are the same as in the Instructional Offerings screen. Refer to the Instructional Offerings screen for their description.


The configuration part of this screen also contains a legend to explain the colors of preferences.
