Adding Attributes

Attributes provide information to be printed in the Announcement or Course Offerings publications. They include the following:


Enforced by the System:
APPL	By application/interview only (printed in Course Offerings). The student must apply for permission to take the course, or an interview may be required. Important! If APPL is specified here, you must also check the Student Specific Permission checkbox on the Basic Data page.
Not Enforced by the System:
CONR	Required for concentrators (printed in Course Offerings). Students who are concentrating in this subject area must take this course.
OFFR	Term offered (printed in Announcement). Indicates whether the course is offered in the Fall, the Spring, or both terms, or not offered this year. Attribute values for this attribute are BOTH, FALL, SPRING, or NOTTYR (Not offered this year).

Unlike a course Requirement Group or Reserve Capacity, the CONR and OFFR Attributes are not enforced by the system. They are for informational purposes only.

Attributes are set in the Course Catalog, and are carried over into the Schedule of Classes for the term. If the attributes set in the Course Catalog are not correct for a specific term, you can change them in the Schedule of Classes for that term.


Note: If an attribute is no longer correct for any foreseeable future terms, you must also change it in the Course Catalog. If the attribute is not changed in the Course Catalog, it will not print correctly in the Announcement. You can change it in the Course Catalog and then synchronize it in the Schedule of Classes, or you can change it in both places yourself.

To add attributes for a term:

On the Basic Data page of the Schedule New Course page group, make sure that you are on the primary component of the course.

Scroll down to the Class Attributes area.

Notice that if attributes were defined for the course in the Course Catalog, they appear on this page.

If the displayed attributes are not correct for the term you are scheduling, you have these options:

Change the attribute by clicking the Lookup

button next to the Course Attribute field, and selecting the correct attribute. You will then need to select the appropriate Course Attribute Value for the new attribute.

Delete an attribute that no longer applies by clicking the Delete Row button next to the Attribute to be deleted.

Add a new attribute by either clicking the Add Row button and using the Lookup

button to select a Course Attribute, or if there is already a blank row, by selecting a Course Attribute for that row. You will then need to select the appropriate Course Attribute Value for the new attribute.
