3. The course form will pop open. Select the green Propose New from Existing Course button.
4. The course picker box will appear. In the Quick Add field type in the name of the original course prefix and course number. Select Add Course.
   1. Tip: use all caps when typing in the course prefix

   1. Are you completing this form on someone else’s behalf?
   2. Effective Term
   3. Subject Code: select the applicable subject code for the new proposed course.

      1. Schedule Type
      2. Repeatable
      3. Default Grade Mode
