Definition Source

"Class association numbers link all class sections that constitute a single offering. With a common association number, you can control not only the sections of classes in which a student must enroll, but you can also control elements of the sections including units, components, and requisites.

Use the class associations component when you have scheduled classes and an administrative or academic change dictates that you must add or modify class components, or adjust units within associated sections.

Regardless of how many components a course offering has (lecture, lab, discussion), always use a unique class association number to identify it. This includes offerings that have just a single component, such as a lecture. Because each section is in its own group, a student can be enrolled in one section and on the wait list for a second more desirable section.

In addition, if you assign a unique class association number, you can vary the units, requisites, and components of individual sections when you have a single component course.[1]
