Unit Class
Explanation
This form is used to maintain the institution defined set of available unit classes. A unit class describes the time and mode of availability of a class. Unit classes are assigned to unit offering options to describe the way the class will be presented to students.
Example
A unit class EON could be used to define classes offered on campus in the evening. Other examples are shown below.
Unit Class	Description	Unit Mode
EON	Evening Class	ON
DON	Day Class	ON
DOF	Day Class	OFF
TOF	TAFE Class	OFF

To create a new unit class using the Maintain Unit Classes form:
Enter Insert Mode. Enter the code or name of the unit class in the Unit Class field of a blank record. Enter a meaningful description for the unit class in the Description field. Select the appropriate unit mode from the list of values (or key a valid value) in the Unit Mode field. Save.
To delete a unit class using the Maintain Unit Classes form:
Find the record to be deleted. Locate the cursor in the record to be deleted. Delete record. Save.	Rules: If a unit class has been used in the definition of a unit, it cannot be deleted. It can be closed, preventing any further use, by selecting the Closed check box. A CLOSED unit class cannot be re-opened if the unit mode to which it is mapped is CLOSED.
To modify a unit class using the Maintain Unit Classes form:
Find the record to be modified. Modify the record as required. Save.	Rules: If a unit class has been used in the definition of a unit, only the description can be modified. This is not recommended unless the change in description is minor and does not affect the meaning of the unit class. A new unit class should normally be created. A unit class can be closed, preventing any further use, by selecting the Closed check box.
