-===== View/Edit Classes ===== 
-There are two ways to enter your classes either manually or via import. 
- 
-==== Import Classes ==== 
-Using an **Import** in which you must create a **.CSV** file with all the **classes** data. Using this method it will automatically have all your **classes** available in the system. 
-For more info visit the [[accuclass:manual:Advanced-Options?&#class-schedule-import|Classes Import]] section. 
- 
- 
-==== Add Classes Manually ==== 
- 
-To manually enter the **Classes** and their Schedule go to **View/Edit Classes** under the **Classes** Section. 
- 
-To create a **Class**, click **Create New**, and then fill in the following info: 
-  * **Semester**: Fill in the name of the semester the class is occurring. 
-  * **Unique Code**: This can be anything that will uniquely ID the course. (Session MAT-101-01,CRN 0488-981,etc.)
