Good afternoon,
Dummy courses have been created for core, subject specific courses and electives. As you
are working on your plans, feel free to use the dummy courses as placeholders.

For example, if a student needs to take a core math, but it doesn't matter which one,
you can type in C020 XXX3 on their plan, and that indicates that the student needs to take
a core math. You can include a note saying something about them choosing from any core
math class.

SUBJECT SPECIFIC
We have also created subject specific dummy courses as well. You can differentiate
between upper and lower division courses as well, for many subjects. For example, if a
student needs to take an upper-division Criminal Justice course, you can type in CRJ 4XX3
as the course. If it could be lower or upper division, you could type in CRJ XXX3.
The format for subject specific dummy courses is SUB 4XX3 for upper-division and SUB XXX3
for upper or lower.
We went through the catalog and created courses based on what was needed for degree plans.
If you want to know if a course was created, you can utilize the course search function
by selecting the magnifying glass after adding a blank course row in the plan, then typing
in the course you want to search.

If all lower-division courses are required for the major, then a lower-division dummy
course was not created.
If there is a subject that does not have a dummy course, and you feel it needs one, please
let me know.
Some degrees require courses from within a college (COB, COS and COLFA), and dummy courses
have been created for them as well:
COB XXX3
COS XXX3 & COS 4XX3
CLFA XXX3 & CLFA 4XX3
Electives
Free elective dummy courses have been created. They are listed below:
ELEC 4XX3 ELEC XXX3
ELEC 4XX2 ELEC XXX2
ELEC 4XX1 ELEC XXX1
When you enter in a core or elective placeholder, they will fall in to the plan in the
audit view where appropriate. Below, you can see the three core dummy courses that were
added to the plan, mark those requirements in yellow in the Audit View in the plan.
