In order for this to work in RCS's Schoology this school year, you'll need use the method described below.
Here are the steps necessary to link sections of your courses:


Manually create a brand new course with multiple sections, link those, and add enrollments or have students join w/ code.
     * Navigate to "Courses", and select "My Courses"
     * Click "Courses" and choose "Create".

     * Click the Gear drop-down next to the section you'd like to be the Master/Parent Course, and select "Link Existing Section".
     * Name the Course ("Mathematics 7", for example), name the Section ("D", for example"), and click "Add Section".

    * Enter a name for the new Section ("F", for example), and then complete the remaining information ("Subject Area", "Level", etc.).

Now that you have your sections created, you'll need to enroll your students. You can do this by providing students in each section with that sections unique access code. To get these access codes, navigate to the course and select "Members".

Once students have been provided with the correct access code they can click on "Courses", choose "Join", and enter that code.
You may also choose to add each student manually by clicking on "Members" within a section, and then selecting "Add Members".


One last concern,...your student swill now see 2 different courses in their Course menu in Schoology. They will see the Course, which was automatically generated (which only has only one section), and they will see the Course you created in the above steps, which has multiple sections. To help remedy this issue, you can edit the Courses visibility/privacy.
    * If the requirements for linked sections are not met, the other section(s) will be grayed out. If you hover your mouse over the grayed-out section, you will see a tooltip explaining the cause of the issue.
     * Click on "Course Options", and then "Edit Privacy/Course Settings".

Linking Course sections is a great way to manage all sections of a course more efficiently.

When sections are linked, they all share the same set of materials and grade setup. This means you only need to create materials once, even when you teach multiple sections of the same course. Linked sections also have toggles you can use to switch between each section instantly, so you can keep the sections separate while enjoying a more streamlined workflow.

Here are the steps necessary to link sections of your courses: 

    * Navigate to "Courses", and select "My Courses"
Sections 1.jpg 


    * Click the Gear drop-down next to the section you'd like to be the Master/Parent Course, and select "Link Existing Section".
Sections 2.jpg 


    * Here's an animation of what it looks like to successfully link linkable sections.

    * If the requirements for linked sections are not met, the other section(s) will be grayed out. If you hover your mouse over the grayed-out section, you will see a tooltip explaining the cause of the issue.

The most common cause of this is that linked courses must have the same Admins. 

    * Select the sections you'd like to link to your master course, and click "Next":
