Resolving the SOC Error Report
This section includes step-by-step directions for correcting errors and warnings returned by the SOC Error Report. To find directions for correcting a specific error or warning, search for the title in this section that is identical to the error or warning that must be resolved.
Required Course Component Not Scheduled
This process demonstrates how to resolve the error "Required Course Component Not Scheduled" on the Schedule of Classes (SOC) Error Report. This error occurs when a course is composed of more than one required component and at least one required component is not added to the schedule. A component is a class format, such as lecture, laboratory, or recitation. Typically, users forget to schedule the lab or recitation components of a course. All components of a course need to be scheduled as another class section of the same course.
For more information on courses with multiple components, please see Schedule a Class with Multiple Components in the SOC manual.
Procedure
Use this process to resolve the Required Course Component Not Scheduled error on the SOC Error Report.

Step | Action |
---|---|
7. |
The Basic Data tab appears.
Note the value that already exists in the Component field for this section.
|
8. |
Note the number of Class Section rows in the Class Sections header. The error occurred because amongst those sections, a required component (such as a laboratory or recitation) was not scheduled.
|
9. |
Click the Auto Create Component button to create a new section with the missing required component.
|
Step | Action |
---|---|
10. |
A new Class Section row appears on the screen.
Note the value that appears in the Component field. This component of the course was previously missing, and is required as defined by the Course Catalog. |
11. |
Enter the appropriate section number into the Class Section field. |
12. |
If applicable, create additional sections of this component to correspond with the already-scheduled components. For example, if two Lecture sections already exist and require two lab sections, then an additional lab section must be created.
For additional help on creating multiple-component sections, please see the Business Process Document "Schedule a Class with Multiple Components."
|
13. |
This completes the process of correcting the error Required Course Component Not Scheduled. End of Procedure. |
Closed Class
This process demonstrates how to resolve the error "Closed Class" in the Schedule of Classes (SOC) Error Report. This error occurs when the Enrollment Capacity field on the Enrollment Controls tab is blank or contains the value "0." The Enrollment Capacity field controls how many students can enroll in a class section. If the Enrollment Capacity is null or "0," then the class is essentially closed to enrollment.
If a class is not being offered, then the appropriate course of action is to either delete the class section or course or cancel the class section or course. Please see the Schedule of Classes for Administrative and Departmental Users for more information.

Step | Action |
---|---|
7. |
The Basic Data tab appears.
Review the value in the Associated Class fields of all sections of the course. The Associated Class field groups class sections into associated groups (for example, one lecture and one lab).
The error is occurring because there is a time conflict between one or more class sections in an associated class group.
For additional information on the Associated Class field, please see the document Schedule a Class with Multiple Components. |
8. |
The Basic Data tab appears.
Click the Meetings tab.
|
Step | Action |
---|---|
9. |
The Meetings tab appears.
Make sure that the first section of the class is active on the screen. All sections of the class will have to be examined for the Time Conflict error, and it's best to start by looking at the first section of the first associated class group.
|

14. |
Once the time conflict causing the error is discovered, make changes to the Pat, Mtg Start, and/or Mtg End times as appropriate. |
15. |
Click the Save button.
|

This completes the process of resolving the Multiple Components of the Same Course have Time Conflicts error. End of Procedure. |
At Least One Instructor Must Have Grade Approval Access
This process demonstrates how to resolve the error "At Least One Instructor Must Have Grade Approval Access" on the Schedule of Classes (SOC) Error Report. This error occurs when there is at least one instructor with "Primary Instructor" listed in the Role field, and that instructor does not have the ability to approve grades submitted through the Grade Roster found in the Faculty Center. The reason for this error can be one of the following:
- The chosen instructor has the value "Grade" in the Access dropdown list.
- The instructor listed on the class section has a blank in the Access dropdown list because he/she was not added to the Instructor/Advisor table following the conversion of data from the legacy system to the SIS.
This process demonstrates how to update the Access dropdown list on the Meetings tab so that an instructor can issue and approve grades for his or her class. If an instructor record must be added to the class section, please see the business process document "Change or Add Instructor" in the Schedule of Classes for Administrative and Departmental Users guide.

Class Meeting Scheduled Outside of Standard Meeting Patterns
This process demonstrates how to resolve the warning "Class Meets Outside of Standard Meeting Pattern" on the Schedule of Classes (SOC) Error Report. This warning appears on the Error Report when a class section's start and end times lie outside of the standard meeting patterns as approved by the Board of Trustees. This situation may occur because the class time was entered incorrectly, or because the department is utilizing a valid non-standard meeting pattern for the class.
Users who receive this warning on the Error Report need to check the indicated class section and meeting pattern to confirm that the time is correct. If the contents of those fields are correct, classes scheduled by departments in the College of Arts and Sciences and School of Engineering must be approved for the non-standard meeting pattern.
