Oops, I Forgot to Set Up Course Sections Before Students Registered

If you did not set up course sections before students registered, you still can; however, you will need to manually assign each student to a course section. 

Step 1:  Create Course Sections

1. Log into your Instructor Platform.
2. Click on the Instructors + Sections button on the left-hand side of the Instructor Platform.
3. Click on the Enable Course Sections button on the right-hand side of your screen. 
4. Navigate to the new Course Sections tab.
   
5. A new page will open with the first section loaded. To begin editing, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Add Section button to add another section.
6. To edit, click the . There is a drop down for meeting day. When you click in the box with the clock, you can either type in the time or use the arrows to scroll to the appropriate time. If your section meets more than once per week, select the meeting time upon which you would like the assignment due dates based.  
7. If you enter the meeting day and time for a section, the section name field will auto fill, but you can edit the name.
8. Click when you are satisfied with your Course Section name and meeting time.
9. Scroll down and click the Add Section button to add your next section.

Step 2: Add Students to Sections

All of your students will have been added into the first section you created, so you will need to move them into their correct sections.

1. Click on the Student Roster + Registration button on the left-hand side of your screen. 
2. Use the drop-down menu in the Section column and select the appropriate section for each student.
   

Step 3: Attach Co-instructors/TAs to the Sections

If you have co-instructors/TAs, you can now attach them to their appropriate sections.

1. Click on the Instructors + Sections button on the left-hand side of your page.
2. Navigate to the Instructional Team Members tab.
3. Use the drop-down menu under the Access (sections) column to assign them to the appropriate section(s). If you still need to invite your co-instructors/TAs to your SimUText, instructions can be found here.
4. You can also adjust the Access Levels for your TAs by clicking on the drop-down menu in the Access (permissions) column. 

Step 4: Adjust Assignment Dates (optional)

If you want to keep the assignment dates the same for all sections, then you don't need to make any adjustments. However, if you would like to adjust the dates based on when your sections meet: 

1. Click on the Assignments button on the left-hand side of your page.
2. You can manually set the visible and due dates for the different sections or click the Auto-set Features button. You will be given the choice to set the same visible and due dates for all of your sections or to allow our system to calculate dates that give equivalent access time to all of your course sections.
3. Click the Save button.
