    Section

    Section: A section is an instance of a course. Section information is found on SSASECT.

    Changing/Modifying vs. Deleting vs. Canceling a Section:

    • Changing/Modifying: Before the class schedule has been made public, any section information can be changed/modified. Once students have enrolled in a section, you can change/modify the section instructor or enrollment maximum; however, you must cancel a section when the modification impacts the student such as campus, building, room, date or time changes.

    • Canceling: You will not be able to cancel a section in which students have already registered. When canceling a section, the students must be manually dropped by Records and Registration.
