Section Long Text is information that is forward facing to the students and would not be the appropriate place to enter classroom information and requests. Instead, you should follow the instructions in the How to add/change room attributes for classroom scheduling preferences.

Any additional fees on sections should be noted in the section text so that students are aware of the additional fee when registering. Instructions on how to add/change section text is available under the Schedule of Classes Training Resources. If this is a new (or revised) fee for a section, contact Diana Weaver(dmw212@lehigh.edu) in the Bursar’s Office to ensure the appropriate fee is added to your section.

If you need to assign fixed credits for an offering of a variable credit course, enter the fixed credits in the Credit Hours and Billing Hours boxes immediately below the variable number fields. You just need to make sure that the Credit Hours and Billing Hours match. These two fields must always be identical.

No. You only need to revise the information on the rolled over CRN for the provisional course that will be different for the new term.

The course you are trying to create has not been approved and is not currently listed in Banner Catalog as an available SUBJECT and COURSE NUMBER offering. If you’d like to create a section of a course that has been approved by your college faculty, the Registrar’s Office will enter that course into Banner Catalog denoting its status as pending final University faculty approval. To have the Registrar’s Office create the course, please complete the required information on the Request for Pending Course Sections Google spreadsheet. Once the Registrar’s Office creates the course, you will be notified and be able to create sections for the upcoming semester.

If there is no CRN for a course offering for the term in question, you will need to create a new section of the course “from scratch”, and Banner will generate a CRN for you when you save your entry. The handout on How to Create a Section will be most helpful to you for this function.

This issue should have been resolved with the installation of an upgrade to Banner XE Class Schedule. If you are still experiencing this issue, please notify Carol Bene (Carol.Bene@lehigh.edu) so that we can further investigate the problem.

You may omit days and times for courses that do not have a standard meeting pattern. However, you will still create a class (CLAS) line/row under the Meeting Times heading and populate the meeting type, start date, end date, and hours per week fields. This will enable you to add an instructor for the section.

When creating a new section with a new Banner generated CRN, you need to tab through the first few fields of the Meeting Times portion of the Meeting Times and Instructor tab. Tabbing through until you reach the boxes with the days of the week will auto-populate the Start Date and End Date of the CRN.

If you will not have any days/times for your course (i.e. On-line courses, Thesis, Dissertation), you still need to tab through to populate the dates and move on to the next item.

You will need to enter the default instructor: 11111 for “Staff, Teaching”. As many departments will be using Staff, Teaching, you will most likely receive the instructor time conflict error and will need to use the Override Indicator for that instructor assignment.

It is very possible that this instructor is in the process of having a contract renewed. Typical for Professors of Practice and other long term adjuncts. Please reach out to your College Dean’s Office or the Provost’s Office for assistance.

The Registrar's Office will continue to provide many of the same reports pertaining to the Schedule of Classes process as we have done in the past in order to support the academic departments. We will continue to distribute the Faculty Load Google spreadsheet to departments for updates after the Schedule of Classes data entry process closes for the departments.

Each College has determined the specific procedures and guidelines they would like to have their departments follow. Please contact your Associate Dean’s office for assistance. The handout on How to Cross-List a Section will be most helpful to you for this function.

Possibly. At Lehigh, we use the term cross-list to identify courses that have a home department but are taught using multiple subject codes. However, in Banner, cross-list is used to set an overall enrollment capacity on a course. If your department teaches multiple sections of the same course for a specific reason (e.g. one for undergraduates and one for graduates, one for on-campus students and one for distance education students) and you want to cap the maximum enrollment of both courses to a specific capacity, you will need to cross-list those sections. Instructions on how to cross-list a section is available under the Schedule of Classes Training Resources.
