There is a lot of information stored on the SECT screen. Each field impacts many other screens and if the wrong fields are adjusted it can negatively impact the students transcripts, degree audits, and institutional accreditation. We have compiled a quick reference guide that indicates what fields can be updated on the SECT screens. Here is what each color indicates:
- Green: These are fields that can be adjusted by staff and faculty outside the Registrar's Office.
- Yellow: These fields can only be adjusted for certain courses.
- Blank: These fields cannot be adjusted by anyone outside the Registrar's Office.
If you have any questions about adjusting any fields please email registrar@valpo.edu.
Main SECT Screen
- The only fields that need to be updated on the main SECT screen are the Section and Term. Please note that these two fields cannot be changed once the section is created.
- You can adjust the status of a course if you need to cancel it.
- The Min/Max/Incr field can be adjusted only if the course is a variable credit course.
- The Short Title can be updated if the course is a topics course. If you think your course needs the title changed but it is not a topics course, please email registrar@valpo.edu for help with adjusting the title.
