## Sample Uses for Course Offering

- Any educational institution—Track each discrete offering of Courses, term by term.

A Course Offering is always related to a Term. Other commonly related records are Course Offering Schedule, Course Connection, and Facility records.

## Configure Course Offering

Keep the Course Offering object up to date.

### Keep Up with Course Offering Updates

If you intend to track the physical locations of Course Offerings by relating them to Facility records, add the Facility field to your Course Offering page layout. The Facility field is not included by default.

## Create a Course Offering Record

Before creating Course Offering records, make sure you've created the Course and Term records they're related to.

1. From the Course record, click **New** in the Course Offerings related list.
2. Select a Term or click **\+ New Term** to create a new one.
3. Enter the Course Offering ID, which should match the ID naming format that your institution uses.
4. If you select a faculty member in the Primary Faculty field, we automatically create a Course Connection record for that faculty member. The faculty member is also marked as Primary on the Course Connection.
5. Fill in other details as needed. Only select a Time Block if you aren't going to relate a Course Offering Schedule to this Course Offering. See [Create Time Block Records](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.eda_time_block.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Create Time Block records for specific blocks of time you want to track at your school. Typically, you create multiple records when you first start implementing Time Block data.") for information about using these settings correctly.
