Lumen/Guide: How to Fix 'Red-box' Courses (Course Not Found)

How to update curricular requirements due to red-box courses.

How to fix the red-box course in Lumen Programs

The software utilizes a "red-box" around a course to indicate an error. An error can mean a couple of things:

The course has been discontinued/deactivated.
The course has changed and doesn't use that subject and/or catalog number.
The course is new and hasn't been added in SIS and/or isn't effective for the current Guide.
The course entered doesn't use the correct subject short description and the software doesn't recognize that as a course. See the UW-Madison's Academic Structure visualization for a list of all active subjects (refer to the Subject Short Name).

Utilize the following tools to investigate how to fix a red-box.

Display text	Meaning
added	A new course that has not yet been entered in SIS.
edited	An existing course that has proposed changes. If a course is showing a red-box around the subject and catalog number, something about the subject and/or catalog number has changed and must be manually fixed in Lumen Programs.
deleted	A course proposal to discontinue/deactivate a course, or a completed discontinue/deactivation course proposal.
(null)	If a course shows up when searching regularly (without the archive box checked) and there is no status listed, the course proposal is "at rest." If this course is showing up as a red-box in Lumen Programs, it's likely a new course and the effective date is in the future. Contact DAPIR (lumen@provost.wisc.edu) if you need to have the effective date adjusted (for new courses only).
