Students can search for sections by Meeting Type if these elements are set up:
Meeting Types are defined (J1 Desktop Maintain Table Values 
	 window). Use up to 5 characters for the code.
	
Meeting Type is made available for course searches (J1 Web Registration 
	 Settings page, Campus Portal Course Search).
	
The section has a Meeting Type designated (J1 Desktop Courses 
	 window, Course tab, Master 2 subtab or J1 Web Manage Section Details 
	 page, Schedule tab).
	
	
A Meeting Type is also used in the Astra Schedule Import feature. Make sure the defined values are the same in J1 and Astra Schedule.
