Course Types

Course types represent the component of a course such as lab, lecture, and tutorial. Only the course types that you add here are available for you to select when you create meetings for course sections.

Configure course types in Manage Student Management Lookups, with the lookup code ORA_HER_COURSE_TYPE. Features to Set Up Before You Create Courses and Course Sections

Instructional methods indicate how the course is offered, such as in person, online or blended. This isn't a required field. Only the methods you select here for the course are available for when you create course sections. If you don’t select a method for the course, all methods are available when you create course sections.

Result Types

The result sets that are available to select are sets that are associated with the Course Result or Midterm Result type on the Manage Result Types page. Result Types

Only result types that you add here for the course are available for the course section.

Fees

You can attach fees such as a course fee or materials fee if required. Or you can attach fees when you create the course section.

Select Pay to enroll to indicate that students must pay for the course before they enroll in it, such as for Continuing Education enrollment and payment flows. Here's what happens in self-service:

  • If you select this option and attach a fee for the course or course section, the fee shows in self-service pages.

  • If you select this option and don't attach a fee for the course or scheduled course, Free shows in self-service pages.

  • If you don't select this option, no fee information shows in self-service pages. An example is a course that's part of a traditional enrollment flow.

Tags

Note: To assign tags, you need to go to a different Courses (ADF) page:
  • From Student Central, click Search and search for Manage Curriculum.
  • Only use the page to add tags. Don’t add or edit any other course data on the page. Add and edit all other course information except tags on the main Courses page (From Student Central, click Search and search for Courses).
  • Tags that you add on the ADF Courses page don't appear in the Tags section of the Administrative Data tab on the main Courses page.

Attach these tags to a course to influence what happens in self-service pages:

  • You must attach an Area of Study tag and value such as Art or Business to a course to ensure that guests and students can browse for the course. Courses are listed by area of study in the catalog.

  • You must attach a Featured Catalog tag and value to a course to ensure the course displays in categories such as New or Popular on the guest and student home page.

If you don't attach these tags, guests and students can search for courses, but using only the keyword search.
