CAPS automatically assigns an associated class number for graded sections. For non-graded sections (labs & discussions), pick the graded section you want your section to be linked with. When students register for this class, they first pick a graded section, and then are presented with the non-graded sections with corresponding Class Association numbers.

If your lab or discussion section is linked with all graded sections, pick the 9999 option at the end of the list.

Remember to click the Submit to Registrar button when your changes are complete.
