Creating a Unit

This applies to people with the capability of unit creation - Academic Dean, AD Delegate and Academic roles.

Drafting a unit

Click on Units in the menu system and select Create draft unit. You will be presented with a blank Unit Record form.

Fill out the form as needed, noting the following, and click Create unit to save it.

A title, discipline, level, college and academic are the minimum required fields.

If you do not fill out these fields you cannot proceed and you will be prompted.

You can enter up to 6 learning outcomes in this initial form (adding more or editing them later)

Most fields have an information that explains what the field is for.

A number of the fields are labelled with ‘Markdown’ which provides simple text formatting. Clicking ‘Markdown’ in the label or going Help -> Markdown will display further information.

Once the draft has been saved you can return to it as needed to continue to edit and prepare it.

Proposing a unit

Once the draft has been completed, it needs to be proposed in order for next steps in the approval process to be undertaken.
