Transferring Course block

This block contains transfer course, course details, course description, and course attributes sections. Use the Details, Description, and Attributes tabs to toggle between these sets of information. Use the Details information to view additional course information. Use the Description and Attributes sections to add text for the course by clicking on the Edit button and entering the text in the Editor window. This data can be loaded using the Transfer Course Import Process (SHRTCIM) or can be entered manually. This data can be collected to help determine which courses are institutional equivalents.

The Attributes section allows attribute codes and descriptions associated with transfer courses to be stored in the system, so they can be used during the determination of institutional equivalents. Because transfer course attribute codes and their descriptions exist in another institution's system, they are not validated. Both the course attribute code and a description must be entered.

The Group, Term, and Level fields are not updateable on existing transfer course records. This maintains the linkage between transfer course records and any dependent records that may exist in the Equivalent Course Attributes and/or Equivalent Course Comments blocks. To update the value in any of these fields on an existing record, you may use the Insert Record and Duplicate Record functions to create a copy of the existing record and then modify it as needed. The original record can then be removed.

Fields Descriptions
Primary The Primary (Group Indicator) field may display a Y for primary groups or remain blank for non-primary groups.
Equivalent Exists The Equivalent Exists field can be set to Yes (the course has equivalents), No (the course does not have equivalents), or Not Reviewed (the course has not yet been reviewed), for the transfer course.

When you save a record as Yes, you cannot change it to No without entering an equivalent, saving the change, and then deleting the equivalent.

Protect from Import Check box used to protect selected records from being updated by the Transfer Catalog Data Import Process (SHRTCIM).

After SHRTCIM has been run in Audit Mode, if users decide that there are certain transfer course records they do not want the process to update when it is run again in Update Mode, they can select the Protect from Import check box to protect those selected records from being updated. Selecting this check box does not, however, protect the record from being updated by another person using the page.
