Changing the Course Requirements

You would change the course requirements on the Offerings page of the Course Catalog page group to make any of these types of modifications:

For example, a course that was previously listed as open only to concentrators but is now open to juniors and seniors; a course that was open only to juniors and seniors is now open to everyone.

Important! Course requirements will be enforced at the time of enrollment. If you have already scheduled the class for the term, you must run the Synchronization process after modifying the Course Requirements to enforce the new requirement during online enrollment.

Note: There can be only one requirement group per course, so if a course is open to concentrators in two departments, use the Reserve Capacity in the Schedule of Classes to control enrollments.

Changes to course requirements must be approved for all graduate courses, and for permanent undergraduate courses.
