Overview
Create categories to group courses that follow the same constraints or offer student choices. Use clear, descriptive names like "Math Electives" or "Science Core" that students can easily understand. You can create subcategories to further organize course options.
Creating Categories
Click Add First Requirement or Add More Sub-requirements
Select Category
Enter a descriptive name
Click Add
Click Edit to add your first constraint
Important: Requirements must have at least one constraint to be considered fillable.
After creating the category, you can:
Add specific classes directly within the category
Create subcategories for more complex structures
Example Structure
In a Science Core category:
Create Biology and Chemistry subcategories
Set Fulfill any constraint on subcategories (student needs one class from each subcategory)
Set Fulfill all constraint on the parent category (student must complete both Biology and Chemistry requirements)
Duplicating Categories
Save time by duplicating existing categories:
Click Edit on the category
Click Duplicate
The system creates an exact copy (labeled with Copy in the name) at the bottom of the audit
You can:
Duplicate categories even before adding classes
Edit the duplicated category just like any other category
Using Shared Categories
Shared categories efficiently manage common requirements across multiple programs or departments.
Benefits
Create once, use in multiple audits
Centrally manage common requirements (like General Education)
Save significant time when building multiple audits
Adding a Shared Category
Click Add More Sub-requirements
Select Shared Category
Search available shared categories from the list
