Programs (Academic Planning)

The Programs tool lists the Graduation Program and Academic Programs (if available in your state) for the selected student.  Progress and Course Plan information can be entered after a Program is assigned to a student.

In the Campus.2523 release, the Academic Programs and Graduation Programs tools that define programs that are assigned to students were combined into a single tool.

Both types of programs can now be created and managed with the new tool, found at Student Information > Program Administration > Academic and Graduation Programs.

Consult the articles in the Academic and Graduation Programs category for more information.

See the Programs (Academic Planning) Tool Rights article to learn about rights needed to use this tool.

Academic Program Detail Editor Fields

The following defines the available fields on the Academic Program Detail Editor. Additional fields may be included on this editor for state reporting purposes.

Field

Description

Program

Required

Selection indicates the graduation program assigned to the student. Only those programs that are marked active and whose Cohort Years fields are empty or cover the student's NCLB Cohort Year fields are included in this.

If the student is assigned to a program that has since been marked as inactive, that program displays at the end of the Program list in red text.

Start Date

Required

Entered date reflects the date the student began working towards achievement in the program. Dates are entered in mmddyy format or the calendar icon can be selected to choose a date.

Student Status

Indicates the participation level of the student - (1) Participant, (2) Concentrator, (3) Completer.

In some states, the options available for selection are defined by the state and may differ from the options listed above.

Selection of these is often determined by federal CTE definitions, and is used in state reports.

Non-Traditional Participation

This checkbox indicates the student is participating in a program that is often outside of the norms of the program's general makeup, based on gender, race or age. An example is a male student enrolled in a program that is often dominated by females in the workforce (daycare, nursing, etc.).

This is not a required selection, but does help with data analysis.

Teaching Method Selection indicates how the student is instructed, or how the student learns the necessary items involved in the career/technical ed program.
Flag If the Academic Program is marked as Flagged and assigned a Flag Image, an image displays in this column and next to the student's name. If there is no flag assigned, nothing displays in this column.
