This page explains the function of and differences between co-existing sections and cross-referenced courses, with links to separate pages containing help information for each.
Co-Exist vs. Cross-Reference Comparison
Co-existing sections exist when two different sections meet in the same room at the same time.
CO-EXISTING SECTION FEATURES:
- Relationships are created and managed through MAUI Planner at the Section level.
- Courses may have unique course information (Title, Description, Hours, Etc.)
- Course Numbers may be at different levels (A 2000-Level number and a 5000-Level number, for example).
- Course Numbers may be from one unit or different units.
- Enrollment count is managed be each individual section.
- Courses which co-existed once do not have to co-exist each time they are offered.
- Courses do not have a designated Administrative Home.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Co-existing sections can be from the same department/subject or different ones.
- Related sections can co-exist with other related sections.
- Co-existing sections must have identical information for Session Dates and Time/Day/Location. Credit Hours may differ.
- Off-cycle section override dates do not automatically update on the new or co-existing section, and must be updated manually.
A Cross-Referenced Course is one course offered under multiple Subject/Course Numbers.
CROSS-REFERENCED COURSE FEATURES
- Cross-references are established, maintained and revised through the Course Approval Process in Course Library.
- All course information (Title, Description, Hours, Etc.) will be identical, regardless of which Subject/Course number the student is enrolled under.
- All Subject/Course numbers must be at the same thousand-level, unless one of the numbers is in a Professional college (8000-9999).
- The Subject/Course numbers must be from different units. A department cannot cross-reference two of its own courses. They may be from one or more colleges.
- Any number of Subject/Course numbers may be included in a cross-referenced group.
- When the course is offered, the Enrollment Count is an aggregate count of all students enrolled under all courses in the cross-referenced group.
- All Subject/Course numbers will automatically be available to students every time the course is offered.
- The Administrative Home must submit course information in the MAUI Planner whenever the course is offered.
PLEASE NOTE
- A cross-referenced course is offered in conjunction with at least one other Academic Department/Subject Code and Course Number.
- Only the Administrative Home of a course can enter and submit the course offering information in MAUI Planner.
- Non-admin home departments can initiate revisions through Workflow, which will then route to the Admin home.
- Cross-referenced courses will have the exact same information for a session. Changing one changes any/all of them.
- A cross-referenced course will appear in MAUI under each of the Subject Codes/Course Numbers, as well as in MyUI.
