Identify Communication Part B Sections tt

You have the ability to identify sections of courses where only certain enrollment sections fulfill the Communication Part B (Com B) requirement.

Only courses that have been approved to offer section-level Com B can be setup this way in SIS. See approved Com B courses/sections here: http://www.ls.wisc.edu/gened/documents/allapproved.pdf
A Com B section also has to be offered for at least two credits. ISIS will not allow you to code a Com B section if it is not setup to be offered for at least two credits/units at the association.

If a course has already been approved as COM B at the course level, you will NOT need to code it at the section level. You can verify if the entire course is approved as Communication Part B, by going to >Curriculum Management >Course Catalog >Course Catalog, |Catalog Data| tab,
Course Attributes of GE, COM B.
