Edit an Existing Class

 Updated 1/3/2025

This article describes how to change when the class meets or characteristics of an existing class.

Edit class schedule (start and end dates, class days and times)

Best practice: edit class days and times BEFORE the date the changes go into effect. 
Example: you want to add Tuesdays to the class schedule beginning April 17. Add Tuesdays to the schedule BEFORE April 17. 

1. Classes tab: Search for the class name; click the desired class row in the results.
2. Classes > Summary: In the purple box at the top left, click the Edit button.
3. Update the class fields as desired.
4. Pay close attention to the Effective Date. It cannot be before the class Start date, the Last Hours date, or Last Modification date.
5. Click Save
   

Edit class summary info (class name, class setting, etc.)

Important notes:

• The Attendance Format field (scheduled, lab, or swipe) cannot be edited once student hours are recorded for the class.
• When changing class Hours Type (contact, distance learning hours, etc.):
  - for a class with a scheduled or swipe attendance format, existing time entries will change automatically to the newly selected Hours Type.
  - for a class with lab attendance format, existing time rows will not change automatically to the newly selected Hours Type. Contact us at [e-mail] for help changing the hours type for existing time rows.

• Sometimes distance learning programs are discontinued. When a platform has expired, the class Distance Learning Program field can no longer be edited.

1. Classes>Summary tab: In the large class summary box on the left, click the blue Edit button.
2. A notice at the top of the page reminds you that any changes you make now will overwrite the way the class was set up in the past.
    
3. Update the class fields as desired.
