Purpose

To allow the recording and maintenance of Unit Classes

Unit Class

This form is used to maintain the institution defined set of available Unit Classes. A Unit Class describes the time and mode of availability of a class. Unit Classes are assigned to Unit Offering Options to describe the way the class will be presented to students.

For example, a Unit Class EON could be used to define Classes offered on campus in the evening. Other examples are shown below.

The Unit Class block contains:

• Unit Class
• Description
• Unit Mode
• Closed check box
• Day of Week
• Start Time
• End Time

• Enter Insert Mode
• Enter the code or name of the Unit Class in the Unit Class field of a blank record
• Enter a meaningful Description for the Unit Class in the Description field
• Select the appropriate Unit Mode from the list of values (or key a valid value) in the Unit Mode field
• Save

To delete a Unit Class using the Maintain Unit Classes form:

• Find the record to be deleted
• Locate the cursor in the record to be deleted
• Delete record
• Save

Rules/Notes:

If a Unit Class has been used in the definition of a unit, it cannot be deleted. It can be closed, preventing any further use, by selecting the Closed check box.

A CLOSED Unit Class cannot be re-opened if the Unit Mode to which it is mapped is CLOSED.

To modify a Unit Class using the Maintain Unit Classes form:

• Find the record to be modified
• Modify the record as required
• Save

Rules/Notes:

If a Unit Class has been used in the Definition of a unit, only the description can be modified. This is not recommended unless the change in description is minor and does not affect the meaning of the Unit Class. A new Unit Class should normally be created.

A Unit Class can be closed, preventing any further use, by selecting the Closed check box.
