MiCourses: Create Course Offerings

Intended Audience: Catalog Managers

About

Adding course offerings is the last step before the course details will appear in Michigan's Online Course Catalog (micourses.org). Offerings cannot be created without first having set pricing and terms. In addition, all courses must have a course review. This process outlines the steps to create course offerings in the catalog once all requirements have been met.

Once a course offering is created, it cannot be deleted from the system. If the offering should be removed, it can only be marked as "inactive."

Instruction

1. First, select Course Offerings from the top menu.
2. As a result, the Course Offering page will open. Next, tap the New Course Offering button to then select either:
   • Single Offering, or
   • Bulk Addition
     

Single Offering

1. First, choose the Term, Course and Price from the drop-down fields.
2. Next, insert a number into the Number of Seats field.
3. Then tap the Save button.
   
   • If the Term or Price drop-down menus appear empty, it means these settings are either inactive or have not yet been configured. Both Term and Pricing information must be set before creating course offerings. See the Add Pricing and Add Terms articles for instructions.
   • If a course title isn't appearing in the Course drop-down menu, it typically means the course lacks an associated review. A course review must be completed before you can create course offerings. For more details, see the Add Course Review article.
