- Workload percentages included with instructor assignment on each class section in order to provide accurate workload percentages
- University approved attributes added to classes (e.g. undergraduate research)
- Class section meeting times meeting patterns (e.g. MWF)
- Class notes if required to provide more information to students
- Class Topics for courses offered as special topics (topics are printed on UMKC transcripts and provide more granular course information about the section completed)
