Objective
This page outlines the unit components and complexities involved in creating a Course Outline, including:
Adding core, elective, First to set up core and elective units for a course. and
Adding 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 Staffadministration staff.

The student record has already been created.
You have an access level that allows you to create or edit student records.

You have an understanding of the different course types within the Paradigm system.
You have an understanding of course components that may be:
core units,
elective units,
prerequisite units,
co-requisite units,
disallowed units,
substitute rulesunit, and
constraints.other more constraint types
You have an understanding of the dependencies of those to meet the accreditation requirements of the course.
The Course Plan has already been set up for this course.
Time Periods have been updated, allowing access to the Active Units within the Course Plan.
Units / Subjects have already been scheduled for the next study period.
...
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 Staffadministration staff.
Course Units Colour Legend
Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|
Green | Student has completed this unit |
Blue | Student is currently enrolled in this unit |
Orange | Unit not available because prerequisites have not been met |

Each rules will require its own line within the rules table, e.g.if a unit has 3 prerequisites the unit will have 4 lines within the rules table (one for the original unit to be placed into the course plan and one for each prerequisite unit)
