Programs
Design the academic blueprints that cohorts and classes are built from.
A Program is the long-term academic blueprint at the top of the hierarchy. It defines the structure that cohorts follow and that classes are built from.
What a program defines
A program brings together:
- Course blueprint (program pages): the courses that make up the program.
- Formulas and conditional expressions: how results are computed and any rules that depend on them.
- Gradebooks: the program-level gradebook layout.
- Transcripts: the transcript layout for the program.
- Certificate templates: what graduates receive.
Program detail tabs
When you open a program you will find tabs for:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Cohorts | The groups of students following this program |
| Formulas | Conditional expressions and computed results |
| Gradebooks | The program's gradebook layout |
| Transcripts | The transcript template and its variables |
