The Section Master table stores section information for each year and term. Therefore, you may use the table to track current term section information, set up future sections, and store historical information about sections.
The primary flow of course information goes from the Catalog Master table to the Section Master table to the Student Course History table. You create sections based on courses in the catalog and you register students for courses based on the sections that are offered. Some of the columns in each of these three areas are similar.
