How a combined section works in HuskyCT

In HuskyCT, a combined course does two things:

1. Creates a new parent course.
2. Merges the enrollments from all child courses into the parent course.

A combined course in HuskyCT serves no other purpose than to combine the roster of two different courses into a single course.

This structure looks like this:

The above image shows two courses, PP-3098 SECH01 and PP-5363 SECH90 merged into a single parent course.

Common Misconceptions and FAQ's

1. It is possible to combine two different class types for a single course (Lab and Lecture, Lecture and Discussion, etc.)
   1. False. Because the enrollments for the different types of sections are the same between types, we cannot combine a lab and lecture section for a single course
2. Combining sections gives me extra functionality
   1. False. Combining sections only merges two or more class rosters into a single shell in HuskyCT.
3. If my class is cross-listed in PeopleSoft, this association is setup automatically
   1. False. Course combines must be specifically requested from the HuskyCT Course Combine Form
