Bulk Class Manager is an administrative utility that allows staff to quickly and easily manage multiple classes in a term at the same time. The tool also expedites the process of setting up classes in a new term. Instead having to add classes from scratch to a new term, you can locate classes from an existing term and bulk copy them into the new term.
The Bulk Class Manager page provides a procedural interface that walks you through the process of completing any one of the following tasks:
● Managing class details for multiple classes
● Adding multiple classes to a term
● Copying classes from another term
● Deleting multiple classes from a term
