You can also search by Course Attribute (Crse Attr). Examples include Educational Opportunities Program (EOP), Honors College (HONR) and Open Educational Resources (OER).

  10. Use the instructions below to review your Section Verification List. 

Review a Section Verification List

  • Please review all classes listed on the SVL to ensure that all classes added during Initial Scheduling appear.
     
  • In the Schedule Print (“Sch Prt”) column, a “Y” means the class section is viewable on the Schedule of Classes for that term. An “N” means the class section is not viewable on the Schedule of Classes for that term. (Learn how to read all the columns listed on your SVL).
     
  • Review the instructors assigned to all classes. Multiple instructors, including teaching assistants (TAs) and graduate assistants (GAs), will be listed if more than one instructor is assigned to the class. The same instructor will show multiple times if there are multiple meeting patterns. 
     
  • Review the meeting dates on all mini and hybrid classes. 
     
  • If a class has an associated discussion or lab section, please review the class numbers listed in the class notes to make sure they are accurate. 
     
  • Review the class notes for other items that need to be updated, including: 
    • Enrollment requirement groups  
    • Meeting locations for arranged classes (on and off campus) 
    • Course fees 
    • Open Educational Resources 
    • Class permissions 
    • Class modality
    • Cross listed 
       
  • Ensure combined sections are listed properly. The department of the parent sections needs to communicate with child sections about any changes, such as capacities, days/times or cancellation. 
     
  • Review Topics Courses to see if updates are needed or if a topic needs to be indicated. 
     
  • Review grading basis and variable credit classes for accuracy. 
     
  • If a class is being offered in a departmental room, please make sure that’s indicated. 
     
  • Section numbers do not need to be changed or reordered.
