Guidelines for combining courses
Courses that cannot be combinedDo NOT combine courses that match any of the following:
Courses with overlapping enrollment, such as labs and lectures.
Courses containing student data/submissions. Student work that has been completed does not transfer to the newly created supersection.
Courses with content. The supersection will not retain the content when merged with the Section Maintenance Tool. Contact CIT to transfer course content.
Courses that are coded OL (Online - DL/Gadsden Students) with any sections not coded as OL.
Rationale: In order to maintain compliance with accreditation standards and U.S. Department of Education regulations, Main Campus programs must offer at least 50% of instruction face-to-face. If it is possible for a student to acquire a degree or certificate with 50% or more of instruction by distance, then the program is a distance program and subject to approvals by the UA Board of Trustees, the Alabama Commission on Higher Education, and SACSCOC. Additionally, F-1 or J-1 students are subject to strict requirements regarding online instruction, i.e. no online classes for J-1 students and only one three-credit hour course per semester for F-1 students.
