START WITH THE ACTUAL WORK

Why connect course & subject management?

Course information needs to do more than name a subject. Learners and staff need a dependable definition of who can join, who teaches it, and where it fits.

A WORKED EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

A catalog course is not a scheduled class

A university offers the same course in two terms with different instructors and section capacities. Editing its catalog description should not erase those delivery differences.

The decision and its context

Maintain the academic definition separately from its offered sections. Confirm prerequisites, credit value, eligible programs and the owner who approves changes; then place each delivery in its period and timetable.

What a complete outcome looks like

Check that registration selects a valid offering and that a historical result retains the course context applicable at the time.

A CAPABILITY, NOT AN ISLAND

Connect course & subject management with the next workflow.

The same institutional context should support the next responsible team’s action. Explore the connected capabilities.

WHEN THE DAY DOESN’T FOLLOW THE DEFAULT

A learner requests a prerequisite exception

Route a recorded academic review instead of quietly bypassing the entry requirement.

A clear exception keeps the reason, owner, and next decision visible.

APPROPRIATE CONTROL

Who can act on course & subject management?

Separate the approved course definition from a particular teaching offering and record who can change eligibility or credits.

Explore security and institutional control

KNOW WHETHER THE CHANGE IS HELPING

Registration friction

Review rejected choices, unresolved prerequisite exceptions, and demand beyond available places.

Different institutions. Specific responsibilities.

A practical introduction

Bring a representative workflow, one recurring exception, and the people who own the handoffs.

Plan your implementation

BEFORE THE CONVERSATION

Useful questions about course & subject management.

Can one course run in several sections?

A course definition can support multiple period-specific offerings, each with its own staff, timetable, and capacity.

How should academic teams prepare for rollout?

Start with an approved academic calendar, clear curriculum or course ownership, and representative teaching examples. Use a pilot cycle to review how the planned workflow fits daily teaching.
