Identify New, Edited, or Canceled Courses

After the academic units have made their modifications to the course schedule, you must identify and compile a list of modifications and enter the approved changes in the Student Information System (SIS). EMS Academic Planning flags course changes using a field named Course State. New, edited, and canceled courses are marked as “New,” “Edited,” and “Canceled,” respectively. Typically, you generate the Course Changes report to view and identify the requested course changes. If further clarification is needed, then you can use the Academic Browser and/or Course Navigator.

Before reviewing the modifications, you can remove access to the term from your academic units. See Enable/Disable a Term for Set Preferences Mode.

1. On the EMS Academic Planning menu bar, click Academic Planning > Courses > Academic Browser. 

   The Academic Browser opens.

2. If needed, open the Filter tab. 

3. In Domain, select a domain and in Term, select a term.

4. Set other criteria (academic unit, subject, and so on) to provide assistance in locating the courses that you are reviewing, and then click Get Data. 

   The courses that meet your search criteria display on the Results tab. Use the information in the State column to identify the change made to each listed course.

   Learn more about Searching with the Academic Browser.

5. You can also double-click a course to open the course in the Course Navigator and view more detailed information about the course.

6. After generating the list of course modifications, you must manually enter the approved course changes in the SIS. After data entry is complete, the scheduler must carry out the Sync Courses process to ensure that EMS Campus and the SIS are synchronized.
