How To Set Graduation Requirements In Opensis
Graduation requirements are the specific criteria that students must meet to earn their diplomas, degrees, or certificates. These requirements ensure that students have successfully completed the necessary coursework and accumulated the required credits in various subjects.
In CrownSIS, setting up graduation requirements involves defining the degree programs offered by your institution and the associated course categories. This article will guide you through the steps to set up graduation requirements in CrownSIS.
Step 1: Accessing Graduation Requirements
Step 2: Adding a Degree Program
A degree program in CrownSIS represents the diploma, degree, or certificate that students are working towards. To add a degree program, click on the gear icon.
You will be prompted to input a program name. This name should reflect the degree or certificate, such as "High School Diploma," "Bachelor of Science," or "Certified Nursing Assistant."
Once you've added the program name, the degree program is created and ready for the next step.
Step 3: Adding Course Categories
Course categories represent the different areas of study or subjects that are part of the degree program. Each category requires a certain number of credit hours to be fulfilled by students. To add course categories, follow these steps:
- Click on the Add Course Category button located at the top right-hand side of the Graduation Requirements page.
- Select the degree program for which you want to add the course category.
- Input the category name (e.g., "Mathematics," "Science," "Humanities") and specify the required credit hours for this category.
You can repeat this process to add multiple course categories under the same degree program or across different programs.
Step 4: Assigning Courses to Categories
When creating courses in CrownSIS, you will be asked to select the appropriate course category. This selection assigns the course to the corresponding category within the degree program.
As you add courses to categories, the number of courses assigned to each category is displayed in the Graduation Requirements section under Settings. This feature helps you track the courses that contribute to each category's credit hour requirements.
Step 5: Tracking Graduation Requirements
In the Graduation Requirements section, you can view the required graduation hours for each degree program. These hours are automatically calculated based on the course categories and their associated credit hours.
By following these steps, you can efficiently set up and manage graduation requirements in CrownSIS, ensuring that your students meet all necessary criteria to graduate from your institution.
