❏ Click for a record in the grid. The fields below the grid are enabled:

Max Seats	Type the number of seats available in the classroom.
Grd Restr	If there are grade level restrictions for the course-section, select the lowest grade level allowed. In the adjacent + field, type the number of additional grade levels that are eligible to take the course. For example, if the course is for 7th and 8th grade students, select 07 in the Grd Restr field, and type 1 in the + field.
Pregrid Grd Restr	If there are grade level restrictions that should restrict the course from being displayed in ASCENDER StudentPortal and SCH0133 - ASCENDER StudentPortal Course List (for ASCENDER districts), select the lowest grade level allowed for the course. In the adjacent + field, type the number of additional grade levels that are eligible to take the course. When students access ASCENDER StudentPortal, the course will only be displayed in the subject area for students in the grade levels indicated. For example, if the course is for 7th and 8th grade students, select 07 in the Pregrid Grd Restr field, and type 1 in the + field. Select EX to exclude the course for all grade levels.
