Remember, you create multiple-component classes through the Update Sections of a Class interface, which is accessed by navigating to Main Menu>Curriculum Management>Schedule of Classes>Update Sections of a Class. After providing the search criteria, the available sections appear in the Update Sections of a Class interface.

NOTE: The functionality provided in the Update Sections of a Class area is handy for getting an at-a-glance view of class sections. It can help you visualize groupings, and you can also use it to make quick updates to certain field values like enrollment capacities.

Creating a Limited Options-to-One Multiple-Component Class

To create this configuration, you alter values in the Class Type, Assoc, and Auto Enrl 1 columns. We'll continue to use BSC 4473C as our course example. The questions you ask yourself are answered in the following manner for the limited options-to-one configuration:

• What are the required components of the class? Both are required.
• In which component should students to enroll? A lab component.
• Will the grouping type require a change to the Associated Class number if the group comprises multiple enrollment sections? Yes.
• In what section do students need to be automatically enrolled? After a student chooses a lab component, he or she is automatically enrolled in the lecture component.

In the image above, students who enroll in one of two lab sections-0002 or 0003 are automatically enrolled in the associated 0001 section lecture. Students who enroll in one of two lab sections-0005 or 0006 are automatically enrolled in the associated 0004 section lecture.

1. On the Class Status tab, determine which class sections are being grouped in the one-to-limited options configuration.

2. In this example, students enroll in a lab component. Thus, if you did not designate the Class Type when you created the class section, change the value to E (Enroll) in the associated Class Type field for the lab sections you want open for enrollment.

3. Choose the lecture section to associate with these labs. For that lecture section, ensure that the Assoc field values are all equivalent. For example, if it's the first two lab sections to which you're associating a lecture, allow the value to remain 1 for both the labs and the associated lecture.

4. Choose the lecture section you want to associate with these labs. In the appropriate lab rows, type the lecture's Section number in the Auto Enrl 1 field.

5. Determine the next lab sections for which to create a limited options-to-one configuration.

6. Change the value to E (Enroll) in the associated Class Type field for the lab sections open for enrollment.

7. Choose the lecture sections to associate with these labs. For those lecture sections, ensure that the Assoc field values are all equivalent. For example, if it's the fifth and sixth lab sections to which you're associating a lecture, allow the value to remain 2 for both the labs and the associated lecture.

8. Choose the lecture section to associate with these labs. In the appropriate lab rows, type the lecture's Section number in the Auto Enrl 1 field.

9. Click Save.
