Use

You can arrange academic sessions in hierarchical order. A higher-level session in the hierarchy can have any number of lower-level sessions. A lower-level academic session may only be assigned to one higher-level session. You can set up as many hierarchy levels as you require.

The system uses the session hierarchy when it performs various checks. For example, if a student is registered for a program which belongs to a higher-level session, (s)he can book the modules offered in the assigned lower-level sessions.

The system also uses the session hierarchy when it filters academic work. For example, you want to display the academic work objects of an academic session in the student file overview. The system will display the academic work objects which are directly assigned to this session as well as the ones assigned to its lower-level sessions.

Example

You want to split the summer session into two lower-level sessions.

  • Summer session part 1
  • Summer session part 2

You then assign these two lower-level sessions to the summer session.
