about this guide
Requirement Groups can be assigned at the section level by departments to restrict enrollment in specific class sections. When used, enrollment is limited to students meeting certain requirements, including campuses, specific majors, Freshman/Sophomore/Junior/Senior status, and more. Section level requirement groups can be set in conjunction with the requirement groups already outlined in the catalog. In addition, the section will have both the catalog requirements and the section-level requirements.
Ideally class setup takes place during Open Scheduling, but if changes to class setup are needed outside of Open Scheduling, then Closed Scheduling Section Request processes should be followed.
assigning a requirement group
Step 1: Navigate to the Schedule of Classes landing page and select the Adjust Class Associations tile. Enter the course criteria: Term, Subject Area, Catalog Nbr, for the course to be reviewed. Select Search.
Step 2: Select the Class Requisites tab.
Step 3: Under Class Associations Requisites, enter the numeric code in the Requirement Group field and confirm that the long description of the group is correct.
Note: To search for requirement groups not listed below, use the magnifying glass next to the Requirement Group code box.
Popular Requirement Groups:
• 016803: Section enrollment restricted to UArizona Online Campus students
• 015056: Section enrollment restricted to students active in the Honors College
• 017086: Enrollment limited to Distance Campus Students Only
requesting a new requirement group
If no existing Requirement Group fits the section’s enrollment requirements, departments can submit a request to have a new group created. Requests should include the new group’s desired enrollment prerequisites and will be sent to the Office of Registrar Academic Catalog and Policy unit for review.
do not save message
Note: If incomplete or invalid class section set-up data is entered, a logic-based rule will activate and prevent the changes from saving.
A pop-up warning message (below) will then provide directions for the next steps to resolve the issue.
