Setting Up Course Share Sets

This section discusses how to establish set up course share sets and provides a course share set example.

You complete these steps to share courses:

  1. Define as many course share sets as necessary on the Define Course Share Sets page.

  2. Indicate on the Requirement Group Parameters page whether a requirement group belongs to a course share set that enables it to share courses with another group.

Academic Advisement > Academic Requirements > Define Course Share Sets

Access the Define Course Share Sets page (Academic Advisement > Academic Requirements > Define Course Share Sets).

Field or Control

Description

Course Share Set

Displays the identifying number of the tag that you are establishing. This tag defines the requirement groups that can share courses. The course share set number is used on the Requirement Group Parameters page.

Effective Date

Enter the effective date that defines what requirement version is used for the requirement course share restriction. In regards to requirement groups, a course share set has no effective date. In addition, the effective date does not reflect on a student's requirement term.

Description

Enter a description of the course share set.

Requirement

(Optional) Enter the academic requirement number that places restrictions on course sharing for this share set.

The academic requirement must have a usage value of Requirement Course Share Restriction. Requirement course share restrictions that are established in the Academic Requirements component.

You are not required to enter a value in the Requirement field. If no value is entered, then no restriction exists for which courses or units can be shared. For restricted sharing, specify a requirement. Restricted sharing is necessary if you want to limit the number of courses or units that can be shared. When a value is entered in the Requirement field, then the course share set can only share those courses or units permitted by the requirement.

Requirement groups that appear in the Requirement Groups in Share Set group box are the groups that use the share set. For sharing to take effect, more than one group must be listed.

Note: After you establish and use a course share set on the Requirement Group Parameters page, the requirement groups that are affected are listed on the Course Share Sets page under the appropriate course share set.

Example: Course Set Sharing

In this example, requirement 1133 restricts course sharing for course share set 10:

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Define Course Share Sets page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Example of Define Course Share Sets page

In this example, academic requirement 1133 restricts psychology sharing to one course:

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Requirement page . You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Example of Requirement page

This requirement contains one requirement line. Requirement course share restriction usage can use one line type only: Unit, Course, or GPA Limit.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Line Item page . You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Example of Line Item page

The line number allows only one course. A blank value in either the Maximum Units Allowed field or the Maximum Courses Allowed field indicates that you cannot share courses. Enter a value in both fields if you want to restrict sharing to a certain number of units and courses.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Line Item Parameters page . You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Example of Line Item Parameters page

The line item detail should contain the type of courses to be limited. In this example, the limit is on all psychology courses, which must be intersected by the derived course list of used by requirement group (or used by requirement) to create the limit target:

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Line Item Detail page . You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Example of Line Item Detail page

Note: Requirements with a usage value of Requirement Course Share Restriction must intersect with the target requirements. For example, if a share set has three requirement groups but only two are restricted in sharing, then the requirement that restricts needs two additional detail lines, Used by Requirement 1234 and Used by Requirement 3456, plus a third detail line of the courses that are being restricted.
