Course Directive: Create a New Course Directive on “Course List Display” Line
Step 1
Find the requirement in the DPR that needs an exception. Note the (COURSE LIST DISPLAY) tag on the requirement header. From the “Create Exception” dropdown menu, select Course Directive and click Go.
Step 2
Enter a note in the Exception Note text box.
Step 3
Select the course you want to add into the Course Directive from the UCSC Courses, Transfer Credit, and/or Test Credit sections. You can add as many courses as necessary, courses can be from multiple sections.
Select Substitute to allow the course to count toward the requirement.
Select Exclude to not allow the course to count toward the requirement.
Step 4
Confirm the course is now in the Directed Courses box.
Step 5
In the Direct Courses to section, click the search button on the Line Nbr.
Step 6
Select the line you want to direct the course to. You cannot choose Line 0001. Generally speaking, you can select any of the lines, though you may want to select a line that corresponds with what you’re substituting. For instance, if you’re substituting a specific lecture/lab combination, you may choose that line.
Lines that indicate multiple courses (such as lecture and lab combinations), may also require a requirement change if only directing a single course.
Step 7
Confirm everything is correct in the Direct Courses to and Directed Courses sections, then click Save and Reprocess DPR.
Step 8
You’ll return to the requirement in the DPR where you can see the Course Directive you just applied.
