9.2 Adding or Changing Course Attributes and Values on Classes

Purpose: Use this document as a reference for adding or changing course attributes and course attribute values on classes in ctcLink.

Audience: Class Builders.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZC CM Class Builder
  • ZD CM Class Attributes
  • ZD CM Class Builder
  • ZD FWL View Cnt Calc
  • ZZ CM Class Attributes
  • ZZ CM Class Text Book
  • ZZ CM Local Configuration
  • ZZ FWL Contract Calc

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

Use course attributes for institutional research purposes, reporting, and to print repetitive text in the schedule of classes, for example, Offered in Fall Only.  Course attributes are attached to classes on the Basic Data page.  Unlike requirement designations, Course Attributes do not transfer to the ctcLink Academic Advisement application. An example of a course attribute used on classes is Course Intent (SINT) with course attribute values of:  Academic, Personal Enrichment, or Workforce.

    • Use the minus sign [-] instead of the plus sign [+] to remove unneeded information; then add correct information following the same protocol as in steps 1 through 8.
  2. Select Save.

Note: Course Attribute Codes beginning with S are reserved for SBCTC-Olympia use.  Many of these “S” codes will be used for reporting purposes, for example, SFND-Fund Source, and SBST-I-Best.

If colleges would like additional attributes added to courses, a request would need to be made with the Change Advisory Board.
