Course Group Extensions

You can use the Course Group Extensions page to specify which course groups your Academic Records department configured that you want to be included in workload validation.

In Anthology Student, course groups set up predefined lists of elective or substitution courses on the course list for the program version. Once a course group has been defined, you can assign all the courses contained in a course group to a substitution or elective pool for the course, rather than having to assign each course individually.

Your Academic Records area configures the course groups. You cannot use the page to add, edit the existing values for, or delete course groups here.

Specifying the course groups is required.

If your institution is using the feature in Faculty Workload Management to automate pay generation for adjunct faculty, the course groups you mark as included here can be selected when you configure the teaching structures for compensation plans. ( Select the Configuration tile > locate Faculty Workload > select Compensation Plans.)

Prerequisites

You must have: 

  • To view the page, Faculty Workload - Configuration - View authorization

  • To edit the values for course groups, Faculty Workload - Configuration - Manage authorization

Your institution must have configured course groups. (Select the Configuration tile > locate Academic Records > select Course Groups.)

If you want to edit an item and it has more than one campus, you must have access to all the campuses. For example, if it was configured so that it is available at 3 campuses and you only have access to 2 of the campuses, you can view, but cannot edit it.

Access Method

By default, the grid displays all records for the campuses you are authorized to work with. You can use the drop-down at the top of the page to display only records for a specific campus.

Procedure to Edit Items

  1. To filter the list by Campus, select the name of the campus at the top of the page.

  2. Select the Name in the list.

  3. Review, specify, or change the following values.

    ActiveClosed Specifies whether the associated record is active.

    CampusesClosed The campus or campuses to which a person or item is assigned. It is filtered to display the campuses to which you have access. In some cases, it is also used to filter a list to only those items for the campus. In some lists, you can select more than one campus or select All. In lists that display columns, if the column contains more than one campus, you cannot sort or filter on that column.

    CodeClosed The alphanumeric code assigned to the item by your institution. In most cases, codes must be unique.

    Used for Compensation PlanClosed Select Yes if you want to use the course group for workload management. If you select Yes, Anthology Student displays the course group for your staff members to select when they configure compensation plans. If the field displays Yes and it is grayed out, the course group is already associated with a compensation plan. To change it back to No, you must first remove the course group from the compensation plan.
