Course Details Page Data Sources
Department Level Change
The Time Schedule is MyPlan’s source for curriculum-level notes (see item 1 in the Course Sections graphic). Adding notes to the Time Schedule will also add them into MyPlan for curriculum or department level notes.
Course Catalog Level Change
Faculty or staff may propose a change to the catalog course description by following the course proposal change workflow.
General Education Requirements Change
Writing (W) is the one general education requirement which is designated per section as opposed to the course level. If the user goes to the Course Details page for a specific course and expands the menu next to a section, they will see whether the specific section satisfies the W requirement. The course overview will display “(W) Some sections count toward the Additional Writing requirement” if any sections can satisfy the Writing requirement.
Instructor List By Section
Instructors are sorted by percent involvement and then alphabetically.
