An option next to courses exists to create a new course. This can be used but triple check to make sure that the course does not already exist in the list. Creating new courses incorrectly will slow down the process and create triple the amount of work to delete, recreate and fix the added courses. If you are in doubt about the course please call first before adding. Generally the only courses that may need to be added would be a special topics class.

Selecting the course will now load all the sections that have been entered. The option to create a new section is available again.
