Degrees

Use periods to abbreviate degrees. There should be no space in a degree abbreviation or between degree and (specialization). When mentioning degree year for 成人VR视频 graduates, omit space and replace first two digits of year with a single quote, except when full year is needed for clarity.

Exceptions include numerals following a degree (i.e., Ph.D. 1).

Use the article that applies to the form as it would sound when reading it out loud.

Note: For B.Com., use BCom when not referring to degree title in MGMT Faculty pieces (non-program pieces).

See Appendix 1 for further examples of degree abbreviations. Note that different schools may use varying abbreviations for similar degrees (i.e., Ph.D. vs. D.Phil.).

Program Approval

The eCalendar is 成人VR视频's official repository and public database for academic programs and courses. For this reason, programs go through a rigorous approval process to ensure the quality, accuracy, and consistency of academic information.

To facilitate the approval process, it's important to include any and all essential information, while omitting non-essential information. Certain information regarding potential students should be included in program descriptions (ex.: target audience, topics of study, delivery method, etc.), though information that may change often or that does not require approval to be updated should be omitted (ex.: application procedures, contact information, etc.). Credit weights should not be included in descriptions since these are included automatically in course lists.

As a general rule: any information that requires SCTP approval should appear once, either in the program description, or in the course lists. Any information that does not require SCTP approval (application procedures, contact information, etc.) should not be included. Please refer to the SCTP website for information on SCTP approval guidelines.

Program Descriptions

Program descriptions should briefly describe the program in question while outlining its benefits and unique selling points to prospective students. Information regarding subjects of focus, target audience, program timeline, and delivery method should also be included, as well as any special information of note to prospective students. Information regarding potential career paths may also be included.

Course Lists

Course Categories

Programs should include a course list of all courses and activities that can be counted towards successful completion of the program. In the case of electives and special activities (ex.: IPEAs), this list need not be exhaustive.

Courses should be divided into the following categories:

• Required
• Complementary (if applicable)
• Elective (if applicable)

Program Titles (for Enrolment Services use only)

Degrees should appear written out in full, followed by the abbreviation in brackets (See Degree Abbreviations section for standards).
Note for Degree Evaluation: In Minerva, undergraduate programs should include the degree abbreviation at the end of the "Degree Title" field, whereas graduate programs should include it at the beginning of the "Field of Study Title" field.

Program Status (for Enrolment Services use only)

Active programs: programs that have been approved and are currently offered to students should appear normally in the eCalendar All Programs search.
Note for Degree Evaluation: active programs are set to "Publish Ready > Y" in Minerva so they pull into the eCalendar All Programs search. Exceptions are sometimes made for duplicate programs and other cases in which a specific Minerva active program entry should not display in the eCalendar.

Inactive programs: programs that have been approved but are not currently offered to students for whatever reason should appear in the eCalendar All Programs search with a note at the top of the program description.

** This program is currently not offered. **

** Currently under review. Program not available for this academic year. **

** This program is currently closed for admissions. **

Retired programs: programs that were approved for previous terms but have since been officially retired should not appear in the current eCalendar.
Note for Degree Evaluation: retired programs are set to "Status > Retired" and "Publish Ready > Y" in Minerva so they disappear from the eCalendar "All Programs" search. For government reporting purposes, the program should remain set to "Report to GDEU > Y" until the last student graduates.
