Overview of the System

The Purpose:

The CSS-Course Scheduling System is a web-based application. The purpose of the application is to provide a mechanism for departments to submit updates, additions or deletions via the web for future course offerings. This application replaces the paper-based process which was cumbersome, slow, error-prone and inefficient.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Course Listing page compares a snapshot of IMS data that is loaded into CSS in the beginning of each semester to the data entered or modified by Departments. This screen does not reflect changes that could have been made to IMS outside of CSS. In order to see those changes, an approver must either view Section Detail or use Refresh button to load latest changes into CSS. Department users look at the snapshot of IMS, even on Section Detail screen, until the snapshot is updated by approvers.
