SIS - Class/Course Attributes
This document provides information for Curricular Representatives on Class/Course Attribute values in SIS.
PeopleSoft allows special designations to be placed on class sections in the Class Attributes area of the Basic Data tab of Maintain Schedule of Classes. Curricular Representatives may assign the four attributes listed below when appropriate.
These attributes are available for Curricular Representatives to attach to class sections:
GE – General Education Requirement. The GE attribute with the attribute value COM B is placed on section-level COM B sections.*
LAW – Used internally by the Law School*
TRFR – Transfer Section*
WES – Wisconsin Emerging Scholars*
These attributes are used to manage data internally within the Registrar's Office, and cannot be added by Curricular Representatives:
75MW – Placed on sections that have been approved to be offered at a non-standard 75-minute Monday/Wednesday time
COOP – Used for Continuity of Operations Planning prior to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic but not currently in active use
DE – Distance Education section
FIG – First-Year Interest Group section*
