How to Set Up Multi-Component Classes
This article outlines the steps for setting up multi-component courses in which students enroll in one section and are automatically enrolled in the associated component.
Click each checklist item header to view detailed instructions for that step.
What is a component?
The component tells us what type of course it is: Lecture, Discussion, Activity, Lab, etc.
Sometimes, a single course can have multiple components.
For example, BIOL 151 has both a Lecture and a Lab component. Each component is built as a separate section. Students enroll in the Lecture, which automatically enrolls them into the Lab.
How do we set up multi-component classes?
1.1. Set the Class Type to Enrollment Section.
1.2. Set the Component.
