PowerCampus - Degree Requirement Setup - Catalog Classification
This article will provide steps for a PowerCampus user to setup Catalog Classification in Degree Requirements in order to build out an Academic Plan.
Prerequisites
In order for a UWS employee to setup a Catalog Classification in PowerCampus, the following must be true:
- PowerCampus user has write access in the Academic Plan tab
- PowerCampus is installed on user's machine
- Codes to be entered into Code Table have been approved by Data Governance
- The Event Classifications and Discipline Codes associated to the Degree Requirements have been created and entered into PowerCampus' Code Table
Data Definitions
Degree requirements are user-defined and enable you to group together a number of different disciplines. You may assign disciplines and their related classifications and coursework here as requirements for specific program/degree/curriculum combinations.
In order to minimize data entry, degree requirements are built hierarchically starting at the program level.
For example, all undergraduate programs may have the same basic core requirements. Any disciplines, classifications, or coursework that is required for all undergraduate students can be entered for the undergraduate program. (The Degree and Curriculum fields can be left blank during this phase.) If disciplines and classifications have been previously set up for the matriculation year and term, all of the associated information will default.
