When to use SIS Notes field
On a Course page, the SIS Notes field is always located in the third section, just below the Initial Enrollment and Anticipated Enrollment fields.
You should only use the SIS Notes field to enter any information that should be listed in Course Search & Enroll. This information will be viewable by all students in the course catalog.
When to use Comments field
On a Course page, the Comments field is always located at the bottom of the page, just above the action bar with the Save and Cancel buttons.
You can use the Comments field to enter any internal notes that may be useful to you or other department administrators. To leave a new note, enter your information in the text field and then select “Save Comment” on the right.
You may select the “Permanent” checkbox above the text field if you’d like your note to appear on the IPT course page for every academic term going forward.
View or delete existing comments
Any comments that were left in previous terms and marked as permanent will appear above the text field.
To delete a previously existing comment, select “Delete Comment” on the right.
Note: If you are creating a new course and have not saved yet, you must first select “Save” at the bottom of the page before you can view any prior notes associated with the course.
