Course List Fields The fields within the course list table allow editors to assign specific information to individual courses. Image Added Comment - A comment will be displayed in parentheses after the course title Sequence - Sequence will display two courses with an ampersand (&) indicating that these two courses must be taken in conjunction with each other Cross Reference - A cross-reference course describes a course that is the same course content offered under different course numbers For instance, if credit is given at both the undergraduate and graduate level Another example is a course that different departments offer credit for Hours - The hours field automatically is populated with the credit hours assigned to the course in your SIS You can change these as necessary Or Class - This will display two courses with the word "or" indicating that either course may be taken to meet the requirement Footnote - Only the footnote symbol is entered in the course list, and then add a Footnote table after the course list in the Page Body Indent - The item will be indented to the right, the credit hours will be suppressed from displaying, and credit hours will be suppressed from adding to your Total Credits. You may also use the hotkey Alt+I to select this check box For example, a Comment Entry of "Select one of the following:" may precede a list of indented courses. This allows users to see all of the options without adding each course's credit hours to the Total Credits Area Header - The item will be styled as a header within the table. You also may use the hotkey Alt+A to select this check box This option is typically used to logically group courses within a Course List For example, grouping "Elective Courses" separately from "Required Courses" Note: Multiple course codes may be added in the Sequence, Cross Reference, or Or Class fields, separated by a comma. To include an ampersand (&) in an Or Class, include the ampersand. For instance, to display ACCT 101 OR ACCT 102 & ACCT 103, put ACCT 102 & ACCT 103 in the Or field of the ACCT 101 course.
