LMS Admin Question > Course Sections
Hi All-
Currently in the middle of a SIS change over and testing the API between the SIS and Brightspace.
Noticed this morning on a test push, that the course sent over only had an offering and had no section.
In our current LMS setup, we sent over the template, course offering and then a course section. I was not involved with our initial setup and all of our LMS admins who were involved with setup have departed the org.
We also appear to enroll user in both the course offering and course section. Assuming this might be for merging and keeping users organized by section?
Do you need to have course sections if you enroll directly into the course offering? Any impact on merging if just using an offering?

Hello @Michael.H.932, thank you for reaching out! I believe that in Brightspace, using course sections isn't strictly required if enrolling directly into the course offering. However, sections are typically used to organize students into distinct groups, which can be helpful for managing communications, assessments, and group-specific content.
I could link you to below documentation/articles:
I hope I was able to answer your question!
