Note

BE ADVISED

A new scheduled unit must be created whenever one of the following 7 fields changes:

  1. Unit Code

  2. Unit Name

  3. Start Date

  4. End Date

  5. Census Date

  6. Delivery Mode

  7. Home Institution Code (otherwise known as location of delivery)

If any of these 7 fields change then a new scheduled unit MUST be created regardless of the course the student is undertaking.

E.g. If the Students are sitting in the same room (location / institution) and (delivery method), at the same time (start date), learning the same material / subject (unit code) it is one scheduled unit
