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
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.
