HelioCampus AC - Course Sections - Publishing a Course Section (Admin) [UW-Madison]
This document answers the questions: Why can’t I assign courses to my survey instance? or When can I assign courses to a survey? Course sections cannot be assigned to a survey prior to the second week of classes in a semester, unless they are manually published.
Course sections must be published before they can be assigned to an evaluation.
HelioCampus AC auto-publishes all course sections the first Monday after the first day of classes. If you are a Department Administrator, and your department needs to schedule an evaluation before this date would like to add a course to the survey before that date, you must manually publish the course section.
Note: Only publish courses that need to be evaluated prior to the end of week 1. For all other courses, wait for course sections to be auto-published.
What is the earliest date I can publish a course section?
You can do this once a term is added to HelioCampus AC; generally one week after enrollment begins.
Manually publishing a course section
- Open the HelioCampus AC menu.
- Choose Course Section.

- Filter department and check the white box in front of each section to publish.

- Next, go to Selected Items Actions and choose change status > update status to published.

- After the next batch job completes (about 60 minutes), the classes will show in the list to assign.
