Course Data Details (CRSE and CRSC)¶
(Updated 9/8/2026)
The Course Details page enables an authorized user to update all components of the Course Section record. The page displays when a user selects either the
(1) Edit Course Sections on the Course Data page. OR
(2) Click on Add New Course Section button on the “Course Data page. OR
(3) Click on the Open button of a staff course record from the Staff Detail page.
When the Edit Course Section or Add Section buttons are selected, the fields on the Course Information section will contain the values from the selected course section record. Only the Course Section InformationThe fields will be Blank, when the Add new Course Section button is selected.
The Course Information page is divided into two sections to manage the relationships between a course (CRS) and its associated course section data.
Course Information
The top portion of the screen is used to manage course data.
Course Section Information
The bottom half of the screen , the Course Section Information is used to maintain course section information associated with the course data.
The user may navigate through the existing course sections associated with the selected course data. At least one course section must be added when creating a new course. The combination of the course (CRS) and course section components results in a complete CALPADS Course Section record.
These two sections of the Course Details page allow the user to keep the course (CRS) components of the CALPADS Course Section record the same while editing the course section components as well as to create an entirely new Course Section record consisting of both the course (CRS) and course section components.
Course Section Details Modal¶
The “Course Section Detail” modal allows an authorized user to update a selected Course section record that belongs to the user’s LEA after viewing the existing information. The user may also delete the record once the course section information has been viewed. This page displays when the user selects the Open or Add New Record buttons from the Course Data container as well as the Staff Course container from the Staff Details
The “Course Section Details” UI depiction followed by its screen elements table.
