This form is used to record and maintain the set of Course Types determined by an institution. These are comparable to Government Course Types but provide for greater flexibility by permitting classification at a more detailed level and the use of Course Type names specific to individual institutions. Each institution-defined Course Type must be mapped to a Government Course Type. A Course Type can be mapped to the same Government Course Type.

HE Example:
Government Course Type 10 - Undergraduate Bachelor's Pass could be divided into:

• 10a - Undergraduate Bachelor's Pass - Government Funded, and
• 10b - Undergraduate Bachelor's Pass - Commercial Operations.

An institution may have a local name for the Government Course Code 41 - Cross-institution program for undergraduate course, say 'Shared Program'. This could be given a unique code, say SHARED.

VET Example:
Government Course Type 511 - could be divided into 511a and 511b. Also an institution may have a local name for Government Course Type 990 which could be made available for course definition instead of the Government Course Type code.

In cross-sector Callista and HE installations, when a Course Type is created in STAF1121, it can be related to either the HE or VET sector. Both VET- and HE-specific fields display for all Course Types in CRSF1110..
For VET installations Course Types created in STAF1121 are not designated as HE or VET, but HE-specific fields do not display in CRSF1110.

i.e. The range of fields displayed in this form depends on whether, Your Callista installation is for HE, VET or VET/HE (cross sector).

All fields described in this Help page are generic unless stated otherwise.
