This page explains Course Replication, Planner Statuses and Offerings Planner Navigation to assist with future session course offerings review.
Course Replication
Course Section Replication occurs three times each year. Course sections for fall, spring and summer sessions replicate forward to the next like session.
Sections which Replicate
- Course sections with a Planner Status of "Approved," Registration Status of "Pending" or "Open," and without a scheduling exception end session in place will replicate.
Sections which will NOT replicate
- Sections with Registration Status "Cancelled" do not replicate, and remain in Planner and can be copied by the department to future sessions if needed.
- Sections with a Planner Status of "Planning" do not replicate, and remain in Planner and can be copied by the department to future sessions if needed.
- New for Submission of Fall 2025 Sections - Sections with a Scheduling Exception End session listed within the course section will NOT automatically replicate for the next “like session” (fall to fall/spring to spring). Consequently, each individual section will need to be manually created with an approved standard class time, or the department will need to reapply for a non-standard class time exception using the Non-Standard Class Time Exception Request form.
Replication Schedule (approximation)
- Late August: fall replication
- Early February: spring replication
- Mid June: summer replication
Departmental Administrators are notified via email when Offerings Planner has opened for a future session, at which time course sections can be reviewed, edited, and submitted to workflow.
After replication, green checkmarks will display in the Sections for Session column on the Offerings Planner > Search Results panel.

Planner Statuses Explained
Planning, Pending Initial Approval, Pending Approval, Approved
Planner status impacts several pieces for courses. For students it impacts whether or not courses are visible on MyUI to whether or not students can enroll in said courses. For administrators, Planner status can impact the ability to request or make course changes in MAUI and also provides departments with information on where a course is in the workflow approval process.
Planning
When a course section shows Planner Status "Planning," that means the section is sitting with the department awaiting edit and review by the department. The section has not been submitted through workflow for approval by the Office of the Registrar.
- Sections in "Planning" status will never show for viewing or registration in MyUI.
- Sections in "Planning" status will replicate forward (like session to like session).
Planner Status can be found on the Offerings Planner > Section and Section Summary pages
Location on Offerings Planner > Sections page:

Location on Section Summary page:

To move a section out of "Planning" status you must submit the section through workflow or delete the section
Sections can be submitted to Workflow on the Sections page...

...or the section summary page.

The department may delete the section if it has never been submitted through workflow for that session and will not be offered during that session.

Deleting a section in this manner will prevent the section from replicating and has no impact on the department's ability to offer the course should new sections be needed.
The only way for a course to display on MyUI is for the department to submit the course through workflow for approval.
Pending Initial Approval
The step after "Planning" is "Pending Initial Approval."
"Pending Initial Approval" means the department has submitted the course through Workflow for initial review and approval by the Office of the Registrar
Departments cannot make or request changes to course sections while status is "Pending Initial Approval"
Credit Hours, Optimum Enrollment, Time/Location and Delivery Mode hyperlinks are no longer available when the planner status is "Pending Initial Approval."

The Office of the Registrar will review the course, and, when approved, the Planner Status will change to "Approved"
Departmental ability to make and request course section edits returns when course is in "Approved" planner status
Approved
When the Office of the Registrar approves a section workflow, the Planner Status changes to "Approved." Approved courses will display on MyUI when course browse for that session is active. Hyperlinks to critical fields including Credit Hours, Optimum Enrollment, Time/Location and Delivery Modes return in MAUI on the section summary page.
Pending Approval
"Pending Approval" is the Planner Status which will display when a department requests a change to a course section after the Office of the Registrar has initially approved the course.
If the department wishes to change the Credit Hours, Time/Location or Delivery Mode for a section which has already been approved they will be directed to a Revise Offering Form. The Revise Offering Form is accessed by clicking on the hyperlink for one of the above mentioned course components. Those updates cannot be made by a department after the section is "Approved" and must route to the Office of the Registrar for completion.
If course browse is active in MyUI for the session the course is being offered, the course will display as "Pending" and students will not be able to build schedules or enroll in the section until the section returns to "Approved" status.
