Objective

Upon reading this article you will have an understanding of the unit components and complexities involved in creating a Course Outline, including:

• adding core, elective, prerequisite, co-requisite and disallowed units to a course outline, and
• adding substitute rules to a course outline.

A Course Outline can contain all possible units that are permitted for inclusion in the course. Once a Course Outline has been created, Unit Enrolments can be created by the student or by Administration Staff.

...

The Course Outline page is intended to be completed by Administration Staff, adding all possible core, elective, prerequisite, co-requisite, and disallowed units, substitute rules and constraints for a particular course. The details included in the Course Outline are used as the basis for defining the Course Plan for a student. The Course Plan can be defined for or by a student, or by Administration Staff.

Course plan for enrolment allows staff of various levels to enrol students in to units or will allow students enrol themselves into units
