Access Method

CampusClosed The campus or campuses to which a person or item is assigned. It is filtered to display the campuses to which you have access. In some cases, it is also used to filter a list to only those items for the campus. In some lists, you can select more than one campus or select All. In lists that display columns, if the column contains more than one campus, you cannot sort or filter on that column.

CourseClosed Select the code and name identifying the course the student is enrolled in. You can select one course at a time.

Course Offering Closed The Course Offering list enables you to filter courses based on Courses offered at the campus, Courses shared with other campuses, or Courses shared from other campuses.

The Departments filter in Class Schedule and the Departments property in Copy Class Schedule under Properties to Copy is visible only when you enable Faculty Workload Management. If the Department property is not selected during the Copy Class Schedule, Anthology Student displays a blank value in Department for the new Class Section.

If there are any conflicts, Anthology Student displays a dialog. If you have the specialized permission to override the conflicts, you can select the Override button to override them.

If there are conflicts for the instructor and you select Cancel instead of Override and you are:
