Business Event Package

Definition

A business event package is a combination of academic offerings ( business events and academic units w/o dates ) which are offered for a module in an academic session.

Use

When you build business event packages, you can book students for all business events in the package in one operation instead of booking them separately for individual business events. You can build business event packages from business events and/or academic units w/o dates.

Example Example

The business events Lecture: Basics of Computer Science 01 and Tutorial: Basics of Computer Science 01 are combined to the business event package Basics of Computer Science 01 . The business event package Basics of Computer Science 01 is assigned to the module Basics of Computer Science .

Students who want to book the module Basics of Computer Science must book the two business events Lecture: Basics of Computer Science 01 and Tutorial: Basics of Computer Science 01 in the business event package.

End of the example.

Business event packages offer functions that enable you to:

  • Set tuition fees at levels below the module level This enables you to calculate different fees for individual business event packages.

  • Define the rules for business event package booking per rule container .

  • Define the campus at which a business event package is held

  • Maintain an academic calendar for the business event package

  • Maintain the capacity per business event package

  • Maintain a pattern per business event package

When you maintain a business event offering, you can also create and maintain business event packages and the associated academic events (business events and academic units w/o dates).

Example 1:

The business event package Chemistry 01 consists of the lecture Basic Chemistry 1 and the tutorial Basic Chemistry 1 .

The business event package Chemistry 02 consists of the lecture Basic Chemistry 2 and the tutorial Basic Chemistry 2 .

The package Chemistry 01 has different periods and deadlines than Chemistry 02 (different academic calendar). In addition, the fees for Chemistry 01 are higher than for Chemistry 02 (different categories).

Example 2:

The business event package Chemistry 01 is offered for distance study. Students can access this academic offering via the Internet. This academic offering has no specific times or rooms. To map this in the system, you can assign an academic unit w/o dates (object type EL) to the business event package. The academic unit w/o dates has no schedule, and does not require any resources.

However, the business event package Chemistry 02 is intended for classroom instruction. You assign it an academic offering that consists of business events (object type E).

Structure

You can assign business event packages (object type SE) to a module (object type SM). A business event package consists of business events (object type E) and academic units w/o dates (object type EL) offered by the university. When you assign business events and academic units w/o dates to a business event package, you can define the academic session and/or academic year in which the business event package is offered by assigning it an academic calendar (object type CA).
