- | Select Graded Crs if the course is graded. The field is selected by default. If the | + | |
- | course is nongraded, clear the field. | + | |

- | In the Nbr Sem field, type or click to select the number of semesters of the course. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | In the Textbook ISBN field, type the international standard book number (ISBN) associated | + | |
- | with the textbook for the course. The field can be up to ten characters. | + | |

- | should be excluded from the Attendance or Grades pages in txGradebook. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | Select Self Paced if the course is self paced. Self-paced courses can only be one | + | |
- | semester long. Do not select Self Paced for a course that is not one semester. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | Under Scheduling, add data in the following fields: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | In the Per Ctrl field, type the period control number, which is the number of class | + | |

- | period control number is used to check the accuracy of the information entered for | + | |
- | course sections and student course requests. The default value is 0. The field can | + | |
- | be up to two digits. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | It is recommended that you update the Period Control field. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | Example: If a two-semester course has a duration of one period, the period control | + | |
- | is 02 (2 semesters x 1 period). If a two-semester course has a duration of two periods, | + | |
- | the period control is 04 (2 semesters x 2 periods). | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | In the Department field, type the code indicating the academic department with which | + | |
- | the course is associated. The field can be up to three characters. | + | |

- | selected option is displayed in the Course Priority column in the grid. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | Note: The scheduling load attempts to schedule students into their required courses | + | |
- | before their elective courses. If a student has a singleton that is a required class, | + | |
- | and a singleton that is an elective class, the scheduling load schedules the student | + | |
- | into his required singleton class first, and then schedule the student into his elective | + | |
- | singleton second. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
