| No, once a class has been submitted we cannot re-number or switch sections of a class. Back to Top |

| Session dates cannot be changed on combined classes. If a combined class requires a change to the session, please list the change in "Notes to Registrar". Back to Top |
||
| Only the primary name will show in OCS. However, if the instructor goes by a different name and wishes that name to display, have them log in their my.BoiseState account to change their preferred name. The preferred name will then display on my.BoiseState, the PDF copy of the schedule, and the student's printed schedule. Back to Top |

To delete an instructor from a class, use the minus button on the class row. Caution: Highlighting and deleting the instructor's name will not work. The row must be deleted for the changes to be effective. |
||
| If you change days or times on a class, the room will be dropped. Please contact Becky Clapp at either bclapp@boisestate.edu or 426-3542 to make changes during Review 2.
