    • Editable only by administrators
• Take Course Demands from Offering
  • For a new course (a course that has not been offered last-like semester), you can optionally select an existing course offering from the drop down menu to indicate the new course is expected to enroll the same or similar set of students as the selected course. This information is used in the timetabling to reflect potential student conflicts.
  • Useful when you are renumbering a course - the new number is ME 443, but you know that this course will be taken by the same students as ME 495T in the past - in that case, you will select ME 495T in the drop down.
  • For majority of your courses, you will not be using this drop down
• By Reservation Only
• A checkbox indicating whether it is possible to enter the course without meeting its reservation criteria (if checked, only students meeting reservations will be allowed to enroll into the offering)
• Coordinators
• A list of instructors (from the department to which the course belongs) who will be able to provide the consent of instructor required for the course
