This form is used to maintain the set of institution defined Course Group Types. Courses may be gathered into ad-hoc groups for specific purposes. Each Course Group is identified by a unique code. Course Group Types are used to classify Course Groups according to the purpose of the grouping. Each Course Group must be mapped to a Course Group Type. Every Course Group Type must be mapped to a System Course Group Type that is recognised by the System for other functionality.
