Information applicable to all or most degrees
Supplementary information (add to section with same name on each degree page)
- "In most cases, but not all . . " but change the "where to look bit" to click on the course (GUS,46)
- Disclaimer that the calendar is the authoritative source of degree and major requirements
- If in doubt seek advice.

tips (add to section with same name on each degree page)
- 100-level: These are basic level courses, usually studied in your first year
- 200-level: These are intermediate level courses, usually studied in your second
- 300-level: These are advanced courses, usually studied in your third and subsequent years
- Elective course: A course of your choice
- For the first mention of each course code on the page: Full nameSubject name (as per GUS p.123)
Thoughts and questions
...
about the approach to all degree pages
- Every mention of every course will have the course code and the name (i.e. we won't ever use the course code on its own for page content).
- All these course instances will link to Course Finder for the outline for the course.
- For the structured degrees I have made clear stated explicitly (on a points or course by level basis) the elective requirements, but for the flexible degrees the user must work this out from the degree requirements less the requirements for their major(s). Is this delineation okay?
- Whenever a course code is listed the name will also be visible and the whole lot will be linked to the Course Finder result for that course
- which would enable the user to avoid summing all the course points to check against the degree rules.
- I am reluctant to do this for the more flexible degrees (due to the proportion of choice), meaning the user will have to. Is this okay?
- Bullets notes under the numbered requirements are suggested content to supplement/surround the requirements. Some are quotes from GUS, others are the essence of the idea for Anne Nelson (Unlicensed) to write up

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Points | Total | Total points required: 360
| All degrees | |||||||
| 2 | Points | By level | Maximum of 180 points from 100-level courses | BA | Could include: max or min value; "an additional" | ||||||

| 6 | Points | By level and by subject | An additional 15 points from 300-level BIOL, BMSC, BTEC or CHEM courses | BBmedSc | Could include: "an additional"; "Minimum of"; multiple levels, multiple subjects | ||||||
| 7 | Specified course(s) | Exact |
| BA (Chinese) | Singular or multiple (max so far is 8) Will we always show all? | ||||||
| 8 | Specified course(s) | From a list | One of the following regional-based courses:
| BA (Developement Studies) | Short or long. Have to decide threshold for when to show all by default or show only some. | ||||||
| 9 | Specified course(s) | From a range | An additional 20 points from 200 and 300-level BIOL, BMSC or BTEC courses. | BBiomedSc (Human Generitcs) | Or is this really a Points by Level and Subject? | ||||||
| 10 | Substitution | Course substitution: SARC122 may be replaced with an elective course if you:
| BAS | Could include: A recommendation that the course be done even when it could be substituted | |||||||
| 11 | Elective courses | Standard | An additional 30 points from elective courses. | BAS | No conditions, as these points are only required to meet the total degree points requirement. | ||||||
| 12 | Elective courses | Conditional | An additional 30 points from elective courses.
Part 3 in BE
| BBSc | Where the selection is from any subject area but at least some points count towards a rule other than the total degree points.
Small c"cluster" of related courses (les than a minor) | ||||||
| 13 | Number of majors | Satisfy the requirements for a minimum of one major subject. | BAS | Values will be one or a minimum of one Could be used to cover minors | |||||||
| 14 | Exemption | Probably the domain of transferring so out of scope for us | 15 | Other | Entry to second year | Entry to the second year is based on academic performance across all the first year courses. Historically, a B+ average has been sufficient to be selected. | BAS | Also LLB. Maybe others | |||
