Unit Version

The Unit Version block displays the current Unit Version record from CRSF2210. The displayed records in the Course Unit Level block are the Unit levels for the context record.

For an example, when a Unit is displayed in the Maintain Basic Unit Details form, with the Other Unit Details button and Course Unit Level button selected, the form will display that Unit as the context record, and any existing Course Unit Levels relating to this record will be displayed.

Course Unit Level

This block is used to assign Unit Levels to the context Unit Version to identify which year level of a course the Unit is associated with. As Units may be associated with different Types of Courses, a Unit level can be assigned to a Unit Version for each Course Type with which it has an association.

A Unit HJ13012 - Social Science Research Methods may be taken as a third year subject in the Bachelor of Arts in Justice Administration but a first year subject in the Master of Criminal Justice. This Unit could have a Course Unit Level of 3 in the undergraduate degree and 5 in the masters degree.

This form can be accessed through Other Unit Details button in CRSF2210, then the Course Unit Level arrow from the overlay.

 

The Unit Version block contains:

  • Unit Code
  • Version Number
  • Unit Status
  • Title

The Unit Discipline block contains:

  • Discipline Group
  • Description
  • Percentage

This block does not permit a query to be entered. It is necessary to:

  • Return to the Maintain Basic Unit Details form

Rules/Notes:

It is unlikely that the Unit level associated with a Unit Version will change for a given Course Type. It is more likely that a new Unit Version would be created. Thus, changes in this form should only be to rectify incorrectly entered data.

A Unit level/Unit Version relationship should not be deleted if it has been used elsewhere in the system, for instance, if students are enrolled in the Unit Version and Course Type.
