NOTE
The instructions below assume that all units or subjects that define a Course are already added in the system. If this is not the case, start by adding all the units first. You can refer to this page: 2. 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 into the new course to visualise the course plan as it is built.
Prerequisites
Some units of study have a prerequisite. This is a requirement that must be completed before you are able to take this unit.
NOTE: The instructions below assume that the Course record that you want to set a prerequisite unit to be loaded has been created already. If the course record is not currently loaded, start with the STEP 1 instructions, else proceed to STEP 2.
STEP 1 Load the Course to be edited
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.
STEP 2 Add the units as prerequisites
1, 2 With the Course record loaded in the system, choose Courses > Outline menus on the side.
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.
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).
5 Locate the constraining unit (prerequisite) 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).
6 After selecting the unit and its prerequisite, go to the EDIT COURSE OUTLINE DETAILS Form section. Note the Unit Id and the Constraint Unit Id fields, both are pre-filled already based on the selections that you made (from steps 4-5). Select the Constraint Type as Prerequisite Unit.
7 Click the SAVE OUTLINE CONSTRAINT button.
8 The newly added constraint will be shown in your COURSE OUTLINE table.
INFO: After saving the newly added constraint, you can check the view in the Student Course Plan page if the addition was successful.
