General Subjects [4005]

 

          

          

 

Module Description

Allows users to define Subjects that will later be assigned to specific programs. Subjects entered here may be assigned to ANY type of program (clock, credit, term, non-term, degree, etc.) RGM staff will typically set-up Subjects in a program based on the approved curriculum submitted to the Accrediting Agency and/or College Catalog. Academic and USDE credit is defined for each subject.

 

IMPORTANT Things to Remember:

If a subject is no longer offered, do NOT delete the subject in this module, rather change the dates in the “Date Offered” fields to reflect the time frame the subject was offered. If the Subject is revised or no longer used for a specific program only, do not enter an “end” date here, rather go to “Subjects In a Program” module to enter a “REMOVE” date for that subject.

Subjects may have already been assigned to programs and student records, do NOT delete subjects!

 

If there is a change to a Subject (Name, Code and/or hours/credits) do NOT delete the subject. Rather follow the steps mentioned above, and create a new Subject here by clicking ADD.
