Course Creation: Input & Amend Course Details Task

How to input and amend information on a new course

When a new course proposal has received full approval and a course code has been created, a task is sent to the Input & Amend Course Details Intray of the owning School for the completion of further course details.

The task gives the opportunity to input additional course details and to make any amendments to the information captured during the proposal and approval stage before setting the course to Open.

Details of any Entry Requirements can be recorded as part of the task as well as creating course instances and associated Teaching Load, Compulsory, Elective and First Class details.

This additional information is not mandatory to set the course to Open and can be added at a later date via the Amend Course link.

Note that an Open course still requires a Course Instance to be created before students can be enrolled.

The example below details the steps taken to set a newly approved course to Open by completing the Input & Amend Course Details Task.

 

Step 1

From your EUCLID homepage select the DPTs and Courses tab at the top of the screen.

 

Step 2

The DPTs and Courses homepage is displayed. The menu options available will depend upon the access roles you have in EUCLID.

Step 5

The Proposal Summary screen is displayed showing the course details captured during the proposal and approval stage.

In this example the course was given full approval at level 1 resulting in the creation of a course code and the Input & Amend Course Details Task currently being undertaken.

When a course is submitted for approval the proposer has the option to upload Additional Supporting Documents. The documents may include information required to complete the course set-up and should be reviewed.

You are able to view the Uploaded Supporting Documents by clicking the file name link. The document will open in your default program that supports the document type.

Having reviewed the Course Proposal report and any Uploaded Documents, click the EUCLID Screenshot button to open the Course Summary screen.

Scroll down the report and click ‘Next’ to enter further course details.
