Use the Calendar Type Code Validation (STVCALD) page to create, update, insert, and delete calendar type codes.
These codes, which describe the types of academic calendars used by the institution such as Quarter to Semester or Straight Semester, are used by the Transfer Articulation Institution (SOABGTA) page. You can create or update these codes only from this page.
| Fields | Descriptions |
|---|---|
| Code | Code of the calendar type. After a calendar type code record has been saved, the code entered in this field cannot be changed. After this code has been used in any other record, the calendar type code record cannot be deleted. |
| Description | Description of the calendar type. |
| Multiplier | Value to be used for calendar type credit hour conversion. This is the per-credit conversion value required to translate credits earned in the calendar type to their appropriate equivalent at your institution. For example, if the transferring institution is on a semester system and your institution is as well, the multiplier for a “semester” type would be 1.000. This is a required value when adding a new calendar type record. |
| Activity Date | Date on which the record was last updated. Display only. |
