Add or Edit Programs

You can use the Program page to add or edit the various attributes for a program, such as program codes, program versions, CIP codes, documents, and requirement rules. The attributes that are associated will be included in the programs offered by your institution at its campuses.

You can also specify entrance tests that are required for students who will enroll in the program. You can specify the previous education to qualify for the test as well as the minimum score that the student must attain for each test.

Your institution can define custom properties that are unique to your institution using the Extended Properties page. (Select the Settings tile > expand System > select Extended Properties.)

The extended properties section on this page displays all the fields that your institution has defined so that you can view, complete, and edit the fields. Because the fields vary by institution, your institution will provide any tooltips or additional information you need to complete or edit the fields. If your institution has not configured extended properties, this section is not visible.

NameClosed The descriptive name of the item.

Program GroupClosed Classifies the programs at your institution into groups. They are configured by your institution. Multiple program groups can be associated with a program. Since the multiple program group association occurs on the program level, program versions associated with the program are automatically associated with a program group as well.

If the student falls below the minimum value, the selected course will be added to the student's course schedule if the course is not already included.

    Minimum ScoreClosed The acceptable minimum value for the test score. The Minimum Score field is disabled if the Test is associated with a test type other than Score.

    Previous EducationClosed Previous education of the student. Previous education is used to qualify the test and the score that the student is required to clear.

If you want to save and: 

  • Continue making changes, click the Save button

  • Continue to add another item to the list, click the Save & New button

  • Close, click the Save & Close button

If you are editing a program in the Student Web App and you change a 2010 or 2020 CIP code, Anthology Student displays a confirmation dialog.

If you select:

  • Override, Anthology Student changes the CIP codes on the program versions to match the new CIP code for the program.

  • No, it does not change any of the CIP codes for the program versions.

The behavior in the legacy interface is existing behavior. If you are editing a program in the legacy interface, you change a 2010 or 2020 CIP code, and the CIP codes: 

  • Matched, Anthology Student does not display a confirmation dialog and automatically updates the CIP codes for the program versions to the new CIP code for the program.

  • Did not match, it displays a confirmation dialog

If you select: 

  • Yes, Anthology Student changes the CIP codes on the program versions to match the new CIP code for the program.

  • No, it changes the CIP codes for program versions that had the old CIP code for the program to the new CIP code. If the CIP code for the program versions did not match the old CIP code for the program, it does not change them.

Cancel works the same in both interfaces. It cancels the save.
