Adjusting Class Associations

Procedure

1. Curriculum Management Schedule of Classes Adjust Class Associations

2. At a minimum, complete the following required fields to find the appropriate record:

Field Name	R/O/C	Description
Academic Institution	R	Kansas State University, indicated as ‘KSUNV’. Example: KSUNV
Term	R	Semester in which classes are offered. Terms are identified by a four-digit number where the first digit represents the century, the second and thir digits represent the year, and the final digit represents the semester (2 for Spring, 3 for Summer, 5 for Fall). I.e. Spring 2008 = 2082, Fall 2007 = 2075. Example: 2072
Subject Area	O	The department code for the department offering the course. Example: ACCTG
Catalog Nbr	O	The numeric portion of the K-State assigned course catalog number. Example: 231
Academic Career	O	A Grouping of all academic work undertaken by a student grouped into a single statistical record. KSU will use Undergraduate, Graduate, and Veterinary Medicine careers to designate their students. Example: UGRD

Refer to Searching for Records in iSIS for help on using the Search Pages.

Class associations can only be adjusted for one course/one term combination at a time. All sections of that course may be accessed through this component.

Class Associations

Note that sections here are designated by their Associated Class number, not their Course ID, Class ID, or Class Section numbers.

3. Make necessary adjustments to the appropriate class section.

Field Name	R/O/C	Description
Minimum Units	R	The minimum units of credit this course can be taken for. Example: 3.00
Maximum Units	O	The maximum units of credit this course can be taken for. Example: 3.00
Academic Progress Units	R	Allows overriding the automatically populated default value from the course catalog for academic progress units. This unit is unavailable for variable unit courses. Example: 3.00
FA Units	O	Allows overriding the automatically populated default value from the course catalog for financial aid units. This unit is unavailable for variable unit courses. Example: 3.00
Course Count	O	Allows overriding the automatically populated default value from the course catalog for the worth or count of a course towards an advising requirement. Example: 1.00
Course Contact Hours	O	Allows overriding the automatically populated default value from the course catalog for course contact hours which are used for manual workload analysis. Example: 3.00
Billing Factor	O	Allows overriding the automatically populated default value from the course catalog for the Billing Factor which is used to calculate the Billing Units. Billing Units equal the Academic Progress Units times the Billing Factor. The Billing Factor defaults to 1, so usually the Billing Units equals the Academic Progress Units. Example: 1.000
Instructor Edit	R	Allows or prevents a student to choose an instructor for this course. Example: No Choice
Tuition Group	O	Regardless of the tuition group that you enter in this field, all students are charged tuition based on their own tuition group. Use this field to select to designate a specific group of students that you want to charge additional course fees for the course. Example: (Blank)
Use Blind Grading	O	Enables grade rosters for blind grading. Automatically populated from course catalog. When enabled, grading roster displays random numbers instead of names on the roster. Example: (Blank)

Class Associations – Class Components

5. Make necessary adjustments to the appropriate class section.

Field Name	R/O/C	Description
Grading Basis	R	The grading options that can be assigned to a specific class. For example, a course may be Graded (student will receive a letter grade for evaluation of class performance), Credit/No Credit, or APassF (student will get a pass or fail grade, but the course will not count toward GPA calculations). Example: OPT
Graded Component	R	Allows overriding the automatically populated default value from the component on the Component page that has Grade Component check box selected. Once a student is enrolled in a component within the Class Association, this field is unavailable for entry. Example: Lecture
Grade Roster Print	O	Allows selection of the type of grade roster to be printed for the class. Choices are By Student, Component, Instructor, and None. Example: Component
Requirement Designation	O	Allows selection of a Requirement Designation for the class. K-State is currently only using GNED (General Education) as a Requirement Designation. Example: GNED
Primary Component	O	Selection required for Dynamic Class Dates. Used to calculate the landmark dates on a dynamic academic calendar. Example: LEC (Lecture – Not an option here)
Course Component	R	Allows modifying the automatically populated default value from the course catalog for course components, such as lecture, laboratory, and seminar. Example: Lecture
Contact	O	Allows recording of contact hours for course instructors. Example: (Blank)
Optional	O	Makes enrollment in course components optional. Example: (Blank)
Final Exam	O	Allows selection of whether a final exam is given in the course. The Last Class option allows the final to be given on the last regular class meeting, bypassing finals week testing. Example: Yes
