Navigating CLSS

Instances

The landing page for CLSS is called the Instances page, which is a list of historical and current terms available in CLSS. To get started, first select the term in which you wish to schedule.

Instances screen in CLSS
Instances are broken into three categories; Historical, Current and Specialized Programs. Most CLSS users will work in the Current instances. Historical instances are for reference only.

Scheduling Units

All sections in CLSS are broken down into separate scheduling units. Most often, these are based on academic departments, but there are also custom units that do not necessarily follow the organizational structure. A scheduling unit refers to a specific subject area (e.g. ACCOUNTING), program (e.g. MS_BAPM), or regional campus (e.g., REG_HARTFORD).

As a user, you will have access to a particular scheduling unit. To get started, navigate to your scheduling unit and open it to view your classes.

Please see the CourseLeaf help site for more information about the Scheduling Unit Screen.

Adding and Deleting Sections

Adding Sections

To add a new section, double click a class in the Scheduling Unit screen to expand the section and select the green '+' icon on the right side of the row to add the section.

By default, the Scheduling Unit screen will only display courses with scheduled sections. To schedule a section of a course with no existing sections, select the “Show courses with no sections” checkbox near the top of the screen.

Deleting Sections

Sections should only be deleted while an instance in the Plan phase prior to the opening of registration. Once registration opens, use the “Status” field in the Section Editor to cancel the class.

To delete a section, select the red 'X' icon next to the section you wish to delete.

Section Editor

The Section Editor is the tool you will use to add and revise sections of classes. The section editor includes all the fields that are editable when managing a class. For information about particular fields in the Section Editor, expand the section under the relevant numbered heading.

1. Title/Topic

For most courses, this field simply displays the title of the course. For topics courses, users can select a topic from this dropdown field to add to a class section.

If the topic you need is not listed, see Requesting New Topics in CLSS for information about adding new topics.

2. Section #

Use this field to specify the section number. Please note that section numbers may only be used once per term; it is not possible for two sections to have the same section number.

When creating classes with multiple components (e.g. lecture/lab, lecture discussion), we strongly recommend that departments do not use section number 001L or 001D and instead begin their lab and discussion section numbers at 002L/002D. This can help to avoid common errors when bridging sections from CLSS to Student Admin.
