Rules for Assigning the Section Values
When Section Values are assigned to a class, there are specific rules that need to be followed. The Class Section designation reflects which K-State campus the class is part of and which component of the class it is such as a lecture, lab, quiz or other.

| Manhattan Campus | Letters, beginning with 'A' and progressing through the alphabet. If additional letters are needed, proceed with 'AA', 'AB', etc. (Ex. A, B, C, D, etc.) |
| Manhattan DCE | Same as Manhattan Campus, prefixing with a 'Z'. (Ex. ZA, ZB, ZC, ZD, etc.) |

| Manhattan DCE | Same as Manhattan Campus, prefixing with a 'Z'. (Ex. Labs would be labeled as Z01B, Z02B, Z03B, etc.) |
