- WL50: Classes that blend face to face meetings and less than 50% online activities with an assigned location and time.
- WG50: Classes that blend face to face meetings and more than 50% online activities with an assigned location and time.
- OLSYN: Classes that are delivered 100% online synchronously* and have no required face-to-face meetings and no location assigned
- OLASY: Classes that are delivered 100% online asynchronously* and have no required face-to-face meetings and no location or time assigned
- INHWY: Interactive real-time video
- ONLIN: Internet or web-based (Do not use beginning summer 2011)
- REMOT: Non-web based at a remote site
- *Synchronous online classes – students and instructors are separated by distance but not time. These will have required meeting times and be coded as OLSYN.
- *Asynchronous online classes – students and instructors are separated by distance and time. These will have neither times or locations and be coded as OLASY.
- Tab to the Grade Mode field:
- This field is only used for zero credit hour labs.
- An N is used for non-graded in the case of a zero credit hour lab.
- It will default to the course defined grade mode on SCACRSE when you leave it blank. (Also see #19 on pg. 4)
- Tab to the Special Approval field:
- Only enter a choice if Special Permission is required for the section.
- The choices are Departmental Approval (DP) and Instructor Approval (IN).
- Leave this field blank if no approval is required.
- Tab to the Part/Term field and double click to open the Part of Term choices and select:
- F for full term.
- I for summer I.
- II for summer II.
- Other Part of Term values may be available depending on the term.
- Always tab out of this field.
- Tab once more and the cursor will be in the Credit Hours field. A section will have either a fixed or variable amount of credit and billing hours.
- A section that has a fixed number of credit and billing hours will have that number defaulted onto the form as in the example above.
- A section that has variable hours will require the number of credit hours to be added for the section. If this field is left blank, Banner will always default to the low credit hours.
- A section that has variable hours will require the number of credit hours to be added for the section. Banner will always default to the low credit hours if the field is left blank.
- The section will be non-graded if it is a lab that has zero credit and billing hours. First an N was placed in the Grade Mode field and now the Gradable checkbox must be empty as well.
- A save/commit (F10) must be performed to capture all of the selections. This will create a unique Course Reference Number (CRN).
