School Subject Maintenance

SCHOOL_SUBJECTS

select Set Up SACR, then select Common Definitions, then select External Education, then select School Subject Maintenance, then select School Subject Maintenance

Link external subjects to specific external organizations, specifying the subject areas that your institution accepts as transfer credit from the external organization. You use these subject areas to build external courses.

Access the School Subject Maintenance page (select Set Up SACR, then select Common Definitions, then select External Education, then select School Subject Maintenance, then select School Subject Maintenance).

Important! The catalog of courses for one external organization can be used by multiple institutions. Plan carefully before you use this page to enter every subject area for every institution from which you might receive transfer credit.

Field or Control

Definition
School Subject

Enter a school subject for the external organization. This field contains no edits and, thus, enables you to enter any value. Only the values in the prompt box display a description.
External Subject Area

Enter the external subject area that corresponds to the school subject. This field is useful when an external organization has a number of school subjects that are the same but have different names, such as ENGL and English. You can associate both school subjects with each other, for example, by tying each school subject to the external subject area of ENGL.
