Fields

State Course Detail Panel

Field	Description
State Code	The course code to report to the state. Character/10
Description	Description of the state course. Character/255
Abbreviated Course Name	Course description that can be displayed on reports and pages where space is limited. Character/50 If you entered an abbreviated course name, it will be used as the course name in the Master Schedule record that is created for the state course code. If you do not enter an abbreviated course name, the value entered in the Description field is used as the course Description in the Master Schedule.

State Course Credit	Enter the state course credit applicable for the course.
CTE Course Level	Select the course level applicable in the CTE program.

CTE Course Tier	The CTE course tier value based on the course level.
Active	Select if the state course is active.
Required Credit to Complete	To adjust the amount of credits required to earn or complete the connected state course.
Flag 01 through Flag 10	These flags are used to determine what records are reported for this course for your state. For example, if your state reports a VOCED record for vocational courses only, Flag 01 may be used to specify whether a VOCED record should be created for a course. If your district has entered labels for these flags in the State Course Flag Labels List Validation Table, the label will display in place of the generic flag name. For example, VOCED would display next to the first box on the page if VOCED was entered as the first flag in the validation table. Your state reporting documentation will indicate which flags are used for your state and specify what each flag indicates. Flag 01 through Flag 04 are named as Valid for 090 Records, Valid for 170 Records, Valid for 410 Records, and Valid for 415 Records.
