Overview

After adding all the units and formatting the contents of your Course Outline, some units would require another unit for it to exist or become an allowable unit option for a student to enrol. Establishing the relationship between units can be done by adding constraints. This Knowledge Article will guide you on how to add a prerequisite, corequisite, disallowed, substitute, and required units to your course plan.

Workflow

The instructions below assume that all units or subjects that define a Course are already added

to the system. If this is not the case, start by adding all the units first. You can refer to this page: Adding Core and Elective Units for the instructions.

BE ADVISED:

It might be useful to have a test student within the system who can be enrolled

in the new course to visualise the course plan as it is built.

Adding Prerequisites, Corequisites, Disallowed, and Substitute NOTE: The instructions below assume that the Course record that you want to add the constraints to has been created already. If the course record is not currently loaded, start with the Status colour Blue title STEP 1 instructions, else proceed to Status colour Blue title STEP 2 .   Status colour Blue title STEP 1 Load the Course to be edited Status colour Green title 1 Refer to the instructions on this link on how to load a course record: https://silverband.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PKB/pages/985094/Courses+-+Search+Add+and+Edit#01.-How-to-search-for-a-Course-Record.   Status colour Blue title STEP 2 Add the constraints (Prerequisites, Corequisites, Disallowed, and Substitute). Status colour Green title 1 , Status colour Green title 2 With the Course record loaded in the system, choose Courses > Outline menus on the side. Status colour Green title 3 In the Course Outline page, click the ADD CONSTRAINT button. NOTE: You have the option to select the COPY SELECTED CONSTRAINTS button, if you have other existing courses with the same constraints that you want to apply to this new course. Status colour Green title 4 Locate the Unit that the constraint is tied to and click the Add As Unit icon on the right-hand side (in the example screenshot below, unit BEM3002 is selected). Status colour Green title 5 Locate the constraining unit (Prerequisite, Corequisite, Disallowed, and Substitute) and click the Add As Constraint icon on the right-hand side (in the example below, BEM1005 is selected since this will serve as a prerequisite unit to BEM3002). Refer to the following definition of all the possible constraints you can add.
