   Note: Only the campuses where you are employed will be available in the list.
4. In the Set New Course Type drop-down list, select an option for the kind of course you are creating.
   • Development is for your own use to practice or develop course ideas. 
   • Organization is available for group use for communications. 
   • Non-credit is used for a traditional teaching course, but it is not for registrar credit.
5. In the Enter a course name box, type the name of the course.
   • Symbols will not appear in the actual course name.
   • You cannot edit the information in the Preview of Full Course Name. It is showing how the course name will appear. You can edit the information that appears in this area by making different selections in steps 2 and 3, or type a different course name.
