The LB/LC section link codes cannot be used if you plan to link specific CRNs together. LB/LC allows students to choose a combination that fits their schedule.
The Registrar’s Office should be consulted if you wish to connect specific CRNs. Remove all LB/LC connections for the respective courses prior to contacting the Registrar’s Office.
Education often connects based on CRN, not link codes.
