Course Attributes
A course attribute is a tag that can be added to a course which allows students to find them easily using the keyword search option in Class Search. (E.g., "Semester Spotlight", "North Star", "Service Learning", etc.)
Course attributes can be added to class sections on the Basic Data tab in Maintain Schedule of Classes.
For detailed instructions, see our SIS Resources guide - Add a Course Attribute. For a full list of possible attributes and their meanings, see our Course Attributes page.
SOC WorkCenter
Did you know there is a WorkCenter available that gives you easy access to all of the pages you need to schedule your classes?
From your Staff Home page in SIS, click the SOC WorkCenter tile, or navigate to>Curriculum Management >Schedule of Classes >SOC WorkCenter. It may take a moment or two to load. Please wait for all of the spinners to stop spinning before clicking on any links.
In the WorkCenter you will find three link collections on the left:
- Pages typically used for scheduling classes in the order that you may be likely to use them.
- Other useful pages in SIS related to classes.
- External sites that are helpful when scheduling classes.
In the center of the page, you will find grids that show:
- Errors or warnings that need to be corrected.
- Classes that do not have an instructor.
- Classes whose enrollment is within 5% of the capacity of the assigned room.
- Classes that have a facility ID of TBA but have a requested room.
For any of these grids, click the section number to open the class in Maintain Schedule of Classes.
You'll also find grids that show:
- Enrollment totals for your classes.
- The percentage of your classes that have the print flag turned on.
