What you're proving

A program administrator can create a dated section offering under an existing course — set dates, capacity, and price, then flesh out the schedule and learner-facing details — without Django admin.

Expect seeded data: Paralegal Studies Certificate → course PLG-LRW-201 — Legal Research & Writing. Use the certificate-scoped path (Certificates tile → View courses → View sections) so enrollment and publish work later.

Important: Do not use Catalog → Courses tile for this workflow. Standalone course routes omit certificate context and break later publish steps.

Step 2 — Create a draft section shell

  1. Click Create section in the Sections card header
  2. Confirm the page title is Create section and breadcrumb reads Catalog / Paralegal Studies Certificate / Legal Research & Writing / Create section
  3. Fill Start date, End date, Capacity, and Section price for a new term (e.g. start 2027-01-15, end 2027-04-30, capacity 25, price 675.00)
  4. Leave Initial status as Draft
  5. Click Save section
You're done when

Step 3 — Set details and meeting schedule

  1. On the new section row, open ⋯ → Edit section
  2. Confirm the Section workspace strip shows steps including Details & schedule, Enrollment, and Publish
  3. Click Details & schedule (or stay on that tab if already there)
  4. Set Section name / number (required — e.g. Spring 2027 — Cohort Section)
  5. Confirm Modality and Location make sense for the offering
  6. Add at least one meeting row if the section is not fully asynchronous
  7. Click Save details & schedule
  8. Review the Learner-facing summary on the page
You're done when

Step 4 — Spot-check internal preview

  1. From the section workspace, click Preview (internal)
  2. Confirm the preview shows your section name, dates, and schedule wording
  3. Return to Details & schedule via the workspace strip
You're done when

Optional appendix — Duplicate for a future term

  1. Return to the section list for PLG-LRW-201
  2. On an existing section row, open ⋯ and look for Duplicate section (if missing, note it — duplicate may only be reachable by URL)
  3. If duplicate opens, confirm reusable settings copied but dates and price are blank
  4. Enter new dates and price, check the confirmation box, and save a second draft offering
