Course Types and Levels set the groundwork for grouping courses so that course requirements can be applied to a category of courses that are comparable to one another. For example, if there are five beginner level English classes offered by the school and if only one of them is required for a student to take the intermediate English level course in the next year, the five beginner classes can be marked with the same Course Type and Level. Therefore, the school must first evaluate all courses that are offered and group them into Course Types and Levels accordingly.
Course Type: An alphanumeric identifier such as ENG, MTH, or PHY.
Course Level: A numeric value that represents the difficulty or progression stage, such as 101 or 203.
Together, they form a unique combination like ENG 101 or MTH 203. These combinations are then used when schools establish rules for prerequisites, co-requisites, or repeat restrictions.
Note: To create a Course Type Level, follow the steps in Creating Course Type Level.
Note: For transferred courses, you can specify the course type and level in Historical Marks to ensure those credits count toward Course and Graduation Requirements.
