Programs
The eCalendar is 缅北强奸's official repository for academic programs. It is directly linked to program information found on transcripts and in government reporting, and is used for advising and for assessing graduation requirements.
Given the importance of program information, academic units should use content syndication to reflect eCalendar program requirements on other 缅北强奸 websites, supplemented by their own information, rather than recreating program requirements in full.
Program Approval |
||
The eCalendar is 缅北强奸's official repository and public database for academic programs and courses. For this reason, programs go through a rigorous approval process to ensure the quality, accuracy, and consistency of academic information. To facilitate the approval process, it's important to include any and all essential information, while omitting non-essential information. Certain information regarding potential students should be included in program descriptions (ex.: target audience, topics of study, delivery method, etc.), though information that may change often or that does not require approval to be updated should be omitted (ex.: application procedures, contact information, etc.). Credit weights should not be included in descriptions since these are included automatically in course lists. As a general rule: any information that requires SCTP approval should appear once, either in the program description, or in the course lists. Any information that does not require SCTP approval (application procedures, contact information, etc.) should not be included. Please refer to the SCTP website for information on SCTP approval guidelines. |
||
Program Descriptions |
||
Program descriptions should briefly describe the program in question while outlining its benefits and unique selling points to prospective students. Information regarding subjects of focus, target audience, program timeline, and delivery method should also be included, as well as any special information of note to prospective students. Information regarding potential career paths may also be included. |

Course Lists |
||
Course Categories |
Programs should include a course list of all courses and activities that can be counted towards successful completion of the program. In the case of electives and special activities (ex.: IPEAs), this list need not be exhaustive. Courses should be divided into the following categories:
|
|
听 | Required courses and activities are listed in alphanumeric order and represent courses that must be completed to fulfil the requirements of a program, unless the student receives exemptions. This section may be further subdivided to provide an outline of the program's recommended course of study. | |
听 | Complementary courses and activities represent a restricted list, a particular subject area, or a discipline, as defined by the offering academic unit. In some programs, students must include a number of these to meet program requirements. These are distinct from Elective courses. | |
听 | Electives are courses and activities taken outside of a student鈥檚 principal program of study (i.e. required and complementary courses) and contribute to the fulfilment of overall degree/credit requirements. | |
