Creating Curricula

Curricula are important in course generation because it will automate your registration process. In order to generate a curriculum, you must have course templates already created. A curriculum is a set of courses assigned to a specific program(s).

For example, a first grade curriculum might be something like:

Developmental Overview (Gr. 1)
Art (Gr. 1)
Spanish (Gr. 1)
Music (Gr. 1)
Language Arts (Gr. 1)

Let's say a first grader (or the majority of first graders) all take these courses each year. Setting up a curriculum will allow you to register a student for all of those courses in one go, rather than doing them individually. 

Creating a New Curriculum

From the Dashboard:

1. Courses > Curricula
2. Click the New button
3. Give your Curriculum a Title (e.g. 1st Grade Curriculum)
4. Choose the Program this Curriculum should be tied to.  
5. Click Save and Back if you are only adding Curriculum at this time. Click Save and Continue if you are adding course templates at this time.
   1. Special Note:  if you are importing your course templates click Save and Back and do not continue with steps 6 and 7.
6. On the Edit Curricula page, click the New button
7. Now, select the Course Template and Credit Type (Note: Credit Type doesn't really matter unless you run transcripts. Lower Schools typically ignore this field.)
