Co-curricular activities are organized into co-curricular sections; the relationship is equivalent to the course to course section hierarchy. Co-curricular sections can be created as term-based or non-term-based. Co-curricular sections can be managed by navigating to Main Menu > Educational Experiences > Co-Curricular Sections. The Term column of the Co-Curricular Section Manager can be used to differentiate between term-based and non-term-based sections. Non-term-based sections will display ‘None’ as opposed to a term name.
