Example: American Studies is a course-abbreviation (AM ST) in the English (ENGL) department, which is part of the College of Liberal Arts (L A). If linking a guide to all AM ST courses, you do not need to also specify ENGL as the department and L A as the college.

Only link your guide to a department or course AFTER you have created your guide and it is ready to be seen by the students. From the edit mode of the particular guide you wish to link, click on "Link Guide"at the top.
