When you make a change to an existing scheduled section, always indicate the Course Reference Number (CRN) for the section (not just the subject and course number) . The CRN is a unique identifier for the course section offered in a specific term, and allows us to find the exact section quickly and accurately.
An SOC-1 Form is required for:
| Day/Time changes |
| Setting a fixed number of credits for a section with a range (i.e, from 1-3 to 3) |
| Adding a new section (except for dissertation/thesis/*99) |
| Deleting a section. Even if no students are registered, submit an SOC-1 Form to delete a section. |
| Creating/deleting a crosslist code/group |
| Instructor changes/additions (unless an emergency) |
| Restriction/approval changes/additions (department, major, instructor, etc) |
An SOC-1 Form is not needed (email is sufficient) for:
| Seat max changes (Section or Group max) or Waitlist max changes |
| Room change (general use or department-owned classrooms) |
| Adding a dissertation or thesis section, or directed research course (-00 or -99 numbered courses) |
| Adding section comments to an existing section that already has a CRN |
| Focus designations. Any requests for a focus designation will be sent to GenEd@hawaii.edu for review |
| Changing a class to printing/non printing |
| Special cases, if immediate action is needed…e.g., Instructor on medical leave; the department needs to access student grades/records. We can add a secondary instructor with email request |
