Module 5 - Section Info

Video Summary 

The Section Info page is accessed after creating a section and functions similarly to the Course Info page, allowing edits and management of section details.

Editing Limitations

• Some settings become locked once the school year starts or grades exist, including:

  • Grading unit group

  • Gradebook settings

• These can only be changed if:

  • No grades exist (or grades are deleted, which removes data)

Core Section Management

• You can view and manage:

  • Assigned teacher(s) (add or remove)

  • Students (add, remove, or adjust enrollment)

• Shows:

  • Students awaiting enrollment

    • Requested during Course Registration

    • Not yet officially enrolled until approved

  • Waitlisted students (if enabled, Pro schools)

    • Can be added or removed from the waitlist

    • Can be moved into the section if a seat opens

Capacity & Enrollment Tools (Pro Schools)

• Supports seat capacity tracking

• Allows:

  • Enrolling waitlisted students

  • Removing students if needed

• Helps manage overfilled or limited-capacity classes

Deleting a Section

• A section can be deleted only if:

  • No teachers are assigned

  • No students are enrolled

• Warning:

  • Deleting removes all data permanently (attendance, grades, records)

• If grades exist, deleting the section is not possible

Additional Features

• Standards tab appears if standards-based grading is enabled

• View Class Info:

  • Opens teacher/classroom view (covered separately) - see next video

• Reports available from Section Info:

  • Print student rosters

  • Generate grade reports for all students

Key Takeaways

• Section Info is the control center for an active class

• It manages enrollment, staffing, and reporting

• Some settings become locked once grading begins

• Deletion is possible but should be treated as an “oops recovery” action only
