Set Up Course Section Overlap Groups

Set Up Course Section Overlap Groups

  • Create overlapping course sections with a
    Preliminary
    status.
  • Security:
    Manage: Course Sections
    domain in the Student Records functional area.
Workday automatically detects scheduling conflicts between course sections that have overlapping date ranges, meeting patterns, and instructional locations. One way to resolve scheduling conflicts is by overlapping course sections. To add a course section to an overlap group, it must:
  • Conflict with all of the course sections in the group.
  • Not have any active registrations or in-progress events.
When you roll over a course section overlap, Workday automatically rolls over the rest of the overlap group and its configuration options.
  1. Access the
    Find Course Sections to Overlap
    report and select the course sections you want to overlap.
  2. Click
    Manage Course Section Overlaps
    .
  3. As you create the overlap group, consider:
    Option Description
    Create One Registration Roster
    Access the combined registration roster for the overlap group on the
    View Course Section Roster
    report.
    Only an instructor for all the course sections of the overlap group can view the roster.
    Create One Grade Roster
    Primary instructors can grade the course sections that they have permission to access in a single place.
    Create One Participation Roster
    Access the combined participation roster on these tasks:
    • Verify Participation
    • Verify Participation for My Course Section
    You or the instructor must have permission to verify participation for all the course sections of an overlap group to view this roster.
    Share Section Capacity
    Example: You share section capacity for MATH101-01 and MATH101-02, which both have a section capacity of 10. When a student registers for either course section, the section capacity for each section decreases to 9.
    Overlap
    Select the check box to include this course section in the overlap group.
Workday displays the overlap status on the course section definition.
To edit an overlap group, select
Course Section Definition
Edit Course Section Overlaps
from the related actions menu of the overlapped course.
