University of Wisconsin–Madison Page 1 Schedule of Classes Overview

Schedule of Classes Overview When building your Schedule of Classes, the process consists of several opportunities to make updates:

Phases Description

Initial Call Curricular Services posts a package of information, including reports on the Curricular Toolkit. Courses that were active in the last-like semester are term rolled forward and appear on the pages.

Final Call This call occurs after Curricular Services audits data added, changed, or deleted during the Initial Call. Class sections requesting GA space will have been assigned a room during the initial room assigning process for General Assignment Classrooms. Another package of materials is posted on the Curricular Toolkit for your review and update.

When you receive materials from Curricular Services, follow the steps below: 1. Read and review cover memo and enclosed handouts, including reports. 2. Gather information from faculty and/or chairperson. 3. Enter adds, changes, and deletions into SIS using Building Your Schedule of Classes Manual as

a guide and for reference. 4. Verify updates using the Timetable Review Reports.

Term Roll Term Roll copies all active sections/courses from previous like term to future like term:

• Fall to Fall • Spring to Spring • Summer to Summer

Term Roll Deletes: • Footnotes • Instructors (except on IND courses) • General Assignment Room Characteristics • Wait List Capacity • Cancelled Sections/Courses

To contact Curricular Services, call 262.6345

Building Your Schedule of Classes 5/26/20

Page 2 University of Wisconsin–Madison Schedule of Classes Overview

Term Number A Term is commonly called a semester. There is a Fall, a Spring, and a Summer semester for all students. No gap exists between the ending date of one term and the starting date of the next term. For example, the Fall 2019-2020 term (1202) will end on 12/22/2019 and the Spring 2019-2020 term (1204) will begin on 12/23/2019. Within a Term there are teaching sessions. Terms are represented by a 4-digit code in the Student Information System (SIS). The table below describes how to decipher the code.

Character Represents Values

1st The century of the term 1 = 21st century 0 = 20th century

2nd and 3rd The academic year (e.g. 2019-2020)

20 = 2019 – 2020 99 = 1998 – 1999

4th The actual term 2 = Fall 4 = Spring 6 = Summer

For example, the term code 1212 represents the Fall Term of 2020-21. (Century=21st, academic year=2020-2021, term 2=Fall)

Term Dates, Session Dates/Deadlines, & Session Codes Find Session Codes here: https://registrar.wisc.edu/sessioncodes/ To view Term/Session Dates, follow this menu path: >Records and Enrollment >Dates and Deadlines >Session Dates and Deadlines -or- From Home, select: Curricular & Enroll Rep WorkCenter, Session Dates and Deadlines

Subject Numbers Each teaching subject at UW–Madison has a corresponding 3 digit subject number code, long description, and all caps short description/abbreviation. In SIS, you will be using the 3 digit #. Find subject numbers here: https://registrar.wisc.edu/subjectarea/ Example:

Sample Audit Report for Topics The audit report for topics pulls all active courses that have offered a topic in the last nine terms. The report looks like this:

Tips on Interpreting this Audit:

• Look at the Topic_Title to see which course Ctlg number it is associated with and notice the last term this topic was offered as well as what terms this topic was actually taught within the nine most recently created terms.

• Topic title approved courses may have multiple topic sections per course offered during the same term.

• If an existing topic needs to be assigned to your course section(s), attach it here: >Curriculum Management >Schedule of Classes >Maintain Schedule of Classes, |Basic Data| tab.

• If a new topic title needs to be created for a course, create it here: >Curriculum Management >Schedule of Classes >Add Course Topics.

Topic_Title Displays the 30 character description that appears on a student’s transcript and in Course Search & Enroll app. LastOffTerm Displays the term this topic was last offered. Term numbers Displays the nine most recently created term numbers. If a ‘Y’ displays in the Term column, it means this topic was offered that particular term. If the Term column is blank, it means the topic was not offered that particular term.

Cancel or Delete a Section When do I Cancel versus Delete a section?

Delete If Schedule of Classes HAS NOT been published. A class section should only be deleted if the Schedule of Classes for that term has not been published yet in the Course Search & Enroll app.

Cancel If Schedule of Classes HAS been published. Canceling a section after Schedule of Classes for that term has been published in the Course Search & Enroll app will ensure students receive correct information on the web enrollment system. Never delete a section after the Schedule of Classes has been published; doing so will remove the class number, resulting in errors for web enrollment and student confusion.

Page 110 University of Wisconsin–Madison Understanding Auto Enroll, Associations and Honors in Class Setup

Understanding Auto Enroll, Associations and Honors in Class Setup

Auto Enroll Auto enroll allows classes to be ‘linked’ together to form an Enrollment Package. The student will enter a single class number for the ‘enrollment class’ and will automatically be enrolled in any required related classes such as a lecture or seminar. The enrollment system will be most efficient if auto enroll is setup. When a course is not set up to auto enroll, students requesting the enrollment class will be prompted to enter the class number for other required component(s). This lengthens the student’s enrollment time.

Class Associations Class Associations allow the enrollment system to identify unique enrollment packages. It is important to be aware of Class Associations every time a section is added and/or a course structure is changed. Once enrollment has occurred in a section, its Class Association CANNOT be updated. Class Association 9999 classes are shared among other class associations of the course. A Class Association 9999: • Is a wild card association • Cannot have honors attached • Cannot be an enrollment class • Cannot be a graded component

Honors in Class Associations The honors (requirement) designation should be placed on the correct associated class in SIS on the Class Associations – Class Components page. When a class is offered as “Honors Optional” (HIA designation) the department will need to audit their class list to see who has enrolled for Honors.

University of Wisconsin–Madison Page 115 Expert Entry

Expert Entry As a curricular representative, expert entry has been authorized for your use. Five curricular update components/pages have been customized to allow expert entry if the user is authorized for expert data entry. The five components, all through >Curriculum Management >Schedule of Classes are: 1) Maintain Schedule of Classes 2) Schedule New Course 3) Schedule Class Meetings, 4) Update Sections of a Class, and 5) Adjust Class Associations. Expert entry allows you to enter curricular data without having the system edit the data as it is entered. In other words, editing of data is NOT interactive; it is deferred until you select [Save] or [Refresh]. Use of Expert Entry has some distinct advantages: it stops the ‘hiccups’ because data is not edited as you enter it, making it easier and quicker to tab from field to field. It also reduces errors since your cursor will go where you direct it instead of stopping at the previous field to edit data continually.

How do I know if I have Expert Entry? You can verify that you have Expert Entry by looking at the lower left portion of the page for the four components mentioned above. You will see a check box followed by the words Expert Entry:

= Available but Off | = Available and On

Do I need to do anything to use Expert Entry? No. The default for Expert Entry is set to Yes (checked). The Expert Entry box will always be checked as ‘on’ whenever you access a page with expert entry. Note: You can always uncheck the Expert Entry box on a specific page whenever you prefer not to use it such as when you cancel a class section (see Special Processing Notes).

How do I change my Expert Entry default? Note: This procedure only needs to be completed one time. 1) Navigate to >My Preferences. 2) Expand Navigation Personalizations 3) Find Default Expert Entry On and change if needed by selecting gray circle:

‘Yes’ to turn expert entry on - or - ‘No’ if you want to turn expert entry off

4) Select [Save] in upper right corner.

5) Select [<Home] or .

Page 116 University of Wisconsin–Madison Expert Entry

Expert Entry Special Processing Notes Please read the following carefully and keep for your ongoing reference.

♦ If you have changed your Expert Entry default to No, you will need to check the Expert Entry box each time you wish to use it. Conversely, if you have kept or set the Expert Entry default to ‘Yes’, you can always opt to turn it off on a particular page. Checking Expert Entry on or off will affect that component only and only for the period of time that you are in that component.

♦ If Expert Entry is checked on, you will also get an additional button called [Refresh] on the same line as the [Save] button (lower left hand corner of the page). The [Refresh] button does NOT Save your data entry. It simply refreshes the page, editing and translating any values you have entered. Selecting [Refresh] will also return any error messages as a result of telling the system that you want it to edit your page(s).

♦ If you are in a component with multiple pages and you have multiple errors on different pages, the errors are returned on the page you are on and not on the page that the error applies. You will need to work through the errors, correcting the data on the applicable page, and then select [Save]. Read the error message content to determine which page and data field it is referencing.

♦ Although not essential, Curricular Services suggests that you select [Refresh] on pages where you have entered codes that need translated values verified. This is particularly advisable for codes such as Facility ID, Meeting Pattern, and Instructor Empl ID.

♦ Canceling a Section: If you have Expert Entry checked on and you need to cancel a section, additional steps will be necessary. To cancel a section with Expert Entry on:

1. Uncheck the Expert Entry box. . 2. Select [Save]. 3. Change Class Status to ‘Cancelled Section’. 4. If [Cancel Class] button is not active/yellow, select [Refresh]. 5. Select [Cancel Class] to complete your cancellation. Tip: To make your life easier when canceling sections, it is recommended that you

uncheck the Expert Entry box BEFORE canceling sections. We believe you will find Expert Entry very useful when entering data on the Maintain Schedule of Classes, Schedule New Course, Schedule Class Meetings, and Update Sections of a Class pages.
