Program of Study
Definition
A program is an approved combination of academic activities (lectures, tutorials, practical sessions) that satisfies the requirements for a degree.
Use
You can map your university’s academic offerings by setting up programs in the system. When you register a student, you assign the student a program.
Structure
A program (object type SC) is offered by an organizational unit (object type O), and consists of modules (object type SM) and/or module groups (object type CG). You can arrange module groups in hierarchical order. A program uses rule containers (object type RC) and academic calendars (object type CA).
You can administer your programs by means of a program catalog which contains all the programs offered by an organization.
When you create or change a program, you edit the following infotypes of the program:

You can split a program into stages, and thus map program levels like freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior in the system. If you want to view the stages of a program, go to the
