Define and Maintain Qualification Offering Types {SACADO-2}

Qualification Offering Types

In this option the valid combinations of Qualifications and Offering Types are defined. At least one Offering Type must be valid per Qualification, but more than one is quite possible. A record must be created for each valid combination.

For a more in detail explanation of the new functionalities refer to the Operational Manual {main-om}.

Note: Records in this option cannot be deleted if any application, registration or co-operative education record exists for this particular Qualification and Offering Type combination.

Field	Type & Length	Description
Academic Year	YYYY	The academic year for which this record is valid.
Qualification Code	A6	The qualification code, as defined in {SACADO-1}.
Offering Type	A2	Offering types are defined in the General Support System {GCS-5}.
Active	A1	This indicator may take the values (Y)es, (N)o or (P)reviously Enrolled. Students may be registered for active- and previously enrolled qualifications. Previously Enrolled indicates that the student can only register for this combination if he / she was previously enrolled for this combination. If the indicator is set to (P)reviously Enrolled, all active records in the curriculum for the qualification for the same year and offering type will default to (P)reviously Enrolled. It is important that a record remains on the structure if it should become inactive.
Date Instituted	DD-MON-YYYY	The date on which a qualification was initially instituted. The decision as to whether registrations will be accepted for this qualification is based on the active code above.
Date Phased Out	DD-MON-YYYY	Should a qualification be phased out, that date is entered. If the rules of a qualification should change substantially, it may be a good idea to phase out the initial qualification and to introduce a new one, based on the new rules. This date is kept in the system for record purposes only. If the users enter a 'Date Phased Out' date, this date will be populated on {SACADO-17}. If the users remove the 'Date Phased Out' date this date will be removed from {SACADO-17} as well. The decision as to whether new registrations are allowed, is based on the 'Active' Indicator above.
Extra Years allowed in Residence	N3	Students may not register for a qualification for an indefinite number of years. Students taking too long to complete their qualification, can be excluded from being registered in a residence. A student can register for a residence, as long as the number of academic years are still less than, or equal to the formal time + the additional years on {SACADO-2}. For certain offering types, an additional year can be allowed, for example extended qualifications. This field 'Extra years Allowed in Residence' is defaulted to a value = 1. Any exceptions needs to be captured by the users.

Example:

When the user click on the 'Contact Persons' button a second tab will be opened {SACAD-9b2} - Academic Contact Persons per Offering Type
