FAQ

Why can't I view sections from past and future years?

Any of these might prevent you from seeing sections from other times:

the selected filter
the definition of active sections
the registrar's restriction of past and future years in searches

Note

The Registration Administration hub, the Registration module manager defines active courses, setting the number of days before a course begins and after it ends that it's considered active. The module manager can also restrict the number of past and future academic years available.

First, remove any filters restricting you. If that doesn't work, talk to the Registration module manager.

Tip

You can create filters on the Course List and My Course List pages. You can use them on those pages and on the Course Center and My Course Center blocks. Create a filter with no selections, and name it All Sections.

If you're on the Course Center block or My Course Center block, select a less restrictive filter, such as the All Sections filter recommended in the tip above.
If you're on the Course List page or My Course List page, go to the filter. Click Clear All and Apply.
If you still can't see the years you need, ask the Registration module manager whether any restrictions in the Registration Administration hub are preventing you from seeing past and future years.

Why is some information out of date?

Caching may prevent some information from updating. An iisreset on each J1 Web web server will clear its cache and update the information.

Here's the technical information for your IT department:

The following data is cached on the J1 Web web server so that J1 Web can perform better. These items do not change very often in the J1 Database, so we can cache the data on the J1 Web web server. However, if the data does change, then an iisreset is needed. If you're load balancing, you need an iisreset on each J1 Web web server.
