section data as well as optimize the ease of reading and adjusting
the document itself.Each column of the spreadsheet is appropriately
labeled and may or may not contain specific data for any given course
section. Example:

Top

Column
Descriptions Although
most of the information in each column is self-explanatory, the following is a list of each column in
the Galley and the information that should be provided there:
- TERM CODE -- Refers to the term for which the courses are being offered
- COLL CODE* -- Refers to the college offering the course. This differs from the Coll Code in that it shows if a college override has been placed on the course.
- COLL CODE -- Refers to the college owning the course. This differs from the Coll Code* in that Coll Code* refers the college offering the course, but not necessesarily owning it.
-
CRN
-- Refers to the unique 5 digit Course Reference
Number that identifies a unique section or part of a
section. This number is different each term with the exception
of the first digit, which follows the configuration 1---- for
Fall, 2---- for Winter, 3---- for Spring, and 4---- for Summer.
*Note: Because this is a system-generated number, you will not
be able to enter or select this number for a section that you
are adding.
- SUBJ CODE
-- Refers to the course subject.
- CRSE NUMB
-- Refers to the Course Catalog Number and indicates the Course
Level: 0-499 = UG (Undergraduate Level); 500-999 = GR (Graduate

within a course subject are used to denote a specific section

- CAMP CODE -- Refers to the campus on which the section will be taught. This will not always correspond to the campus on which the offering department or college is housed.

include but are not limited to 'L' for Lecture, 'B' for Lab, 'R'
for Recitation, etc.

be taken. This field may be blank, which would denote the course is being offered as variable credit. The student will be able to select the number of credits for which they would like to take the course, within the set range for the course.

Requesting
Changes to Existing Sections
To make any change to a course, insert a blank line underneath the current section information and enter the new information under the specific field to be changed. - ALL
CHANGES MUST BE BOLDED. ALSO,
USE THE STRIKETHROUGH OPTION FOR THE CELL CONTAINING
INFORMATION YOU WISH TO CHANGE. Changes should not
be made directly to the information itself. Example:

HOWEVER,
not all information can be adjusted. The following information
cannot be altered via the Galley:
-
CRN
-
Subject
-
Course
Number
Some
information can only be changed for specific courses, those include:
-
Course
Title - Can be adjusted for courses that are repeatable for credit, i.e. Special Topics Courses. Departments must adhere to the policy governing Special
Topics Courses which reads:
Two
years is the typical time span for a department to offer a "Special
Topics" course. For exceptions to this policy, administrative
approval from the Provost Office is required.
Courses
identified as "Special Topics" can only be used as a degree
requirement with approval from the Provost Office.
-
Credits
- Can only be adjusted for variable credit courses and should
only be given a set number with the understanding that students
will no longer be able to select a number of credits during
Enrollment for the course.
The
following information can be changed but should only be done after
a careful and thorough review of each of the sections being offered.
Any existing policies or guidelines should also be followed when
deciding to change section information for a term:
Stand alone lecture section numbers should be from 001-099
Multiple
Lectures series should have an alphabetical listing for
section numbers A, B, C, D, E, F...Z
Recitations
should be from 001 to 059
Lab
section numbers should be from 060 to 099
Online section numbers should be from 900 to 999
Non-U Evening sections should be numbered from 501 to 599
U Evening Sections should be numbered from 701-799
Honors
sections will have a section notation of 01H, 02H, 03H...
for each specific course section. These will be for honors sections
that are straight honors, which means every student in the class
is an honors student. If the course is an Honors course meaning
the subject is HNRS and if the course has ALL honors students enrolled,
then the title must reflect Honors. You must change the title as
hyphenated honors. [Ex. Physics I - Honors]
-
Max
-- If a room has been assigned, the max cannot be increased unless either the room's capacity can accomodate the additional seats or an alternate room is available.
-
Times/Days
of the Week - There are specific policies governing the
distribution of courses as well as adherence to the University's
course meeting time blocks and should be considered when making
adjustments to course information.
Course
Offering Distribution Policy
Departments
offering courses are required to distribute their courses as equally
as possible across the days of the week Monday - Friday) and hours
of the days (8:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m.).
Courses
with 4 credits and greater should follow this pattern as much
as possible and schedule the additional hours in the time
blocks for a particular day. For example: a 4-credit course could
meet in two 2-hour blocks on a M, W, or F; three 1-hour blocks
on M-W-F and one additional hour on T or R as long as that hour
begins or ends in the valid time blocks.
Course
Meeting Time Blocks
Official
course meeting time blocks are 1 - hour segments. Classes begin
at 8:00 a.m. in the morning and end at 10:00 p.m. in the evening.
It is recommended that departments schedule their course offerings
to conform to one-hour blocks and/or a series of one-hour block
equivalents, i.e., a course can meet M/W/F from 8:00 a.m. - 8:50
a.m. or T/R 8:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.

Evening Time Blocks:
Extenuating
circumstances regarding this policy should be addressed to the
Provost's Office.
A Department also has the option of placing a 'Permission Required'
flag on a course requiring that any student who wishes to take
the course be enrolled via Native BANNER. Once this permission
has been specified, NO student can successfully register for the
course via BANNER Web. A section comment is included to direct the student to proper department for approval.
The
following Special Permissions can be specified on a particular
course section:
*only one code can be placed on each section
