Curriculum Modules {SACAD-10} Ä

This option replaces the structure previously maintained in {SACAD-6}. This new structure is used in {SREGAR-1} to automatically register units/modules linked to a specific subject.

 

To generate the modules the cursor must be on subject code press. Press CTRL E to call a pop-up screen with the module/unit info. Select the modules/units to be included and save to insert the modules into the subject registration screen. It is also important that the subject for which modules must be generated, be marked with “Generate Units” = “Y” on {SACAD-1b9} (Subject Information).

 

The data can be printed in {SACADR-26}.

H.     Subject Credit  (N6.3) The basic assumption in determining credit values is that the sum of the credit values of all the subjects of a full time student is usually 1 (one) per year of study. The credit value of a subject should give a rough indication of the amount of effort necessary to pass the subject relative to the other subjects in the same study year of the particular qualification program.

 

I.        Major Subject  (A1) Different institutions attach various meanings to the term “major”.  In the ITS system this indicator is used only for STATS purposes, and more specifically to pro-rate a student for the purposes of STATS Table 2.13.  It is important to note that a major subject as defined here may normally only be taken in the final study period for a qualification, and will have pre-requisites going back to the first year.  In the case of, for instance, subjects such as English I, English II and English III, only English III will be indicated as a Major.

 

J.       @Exam Type (A1) The Exam Type that is valid for this combination@@
