A Section is the execution of a specific Course based on a given Course Template. The Section is defined by the following basic settings:
- The Course Template
- The Year
- Begin Date
- End Date
A Section contains lots of other data, but the above fields are what define it as a unique Section.
Sections are also commonly called a Course or Rotation
Path: Admin Toolbar > Course Management > Course Settings > Courses > Sections
Sections Menu options:
- Create New Section: This will create a New Section. You must pick the Course Template, Year, Date Range and Campus.
- View All: This will create a list of all Courses (Sections/Rotations)
- View Hidden: This will generate a list of all Courses that have been marked as hidden. These Course are invisible to the rest of the System.
- View New: This option will generate a list of all Courses created within a specified date range.
- Keyword Search: Type a word or double-click to see a selection in alphabetical order.
TIP: Hidden Courses are much like deleted Courses in that they are no longer visible to most Users.
The main purpose of Hidden Courses is to hide Courses imported via an external feed (i.e., the roster).

A new Section/Rotation, along with its associated Groups, will be created.
