Offer Holidays

Students often schedule holidays during their studies. These holidays can be requested at the application stage and included in the offer. Once the offer is accepted, these holidays are transferred to the respective enrolments.

Consideration for Managing Holidays

• There are 2 different type of holidays:

  • Extend: If these holidays occur within the course's study period, the system will automatically extend the course(s)' end date to ensure the course if offered for the length selected. These holidays must always start on a Monday and are based on whole weeks. Also, a course cannot start during a holiday of this type.

  • No Extend: These holidays will not impact the duration of the course and they can be any days.

• There are two source of holidays that can impact an offer:

  • Faculty holidays: These are holidays that will apply to all offers for courses under that faculty. These holidays are created at the faculty level and they can be set as ‘Extend’ or ‘Not Extend’.

  • Offer Holidays: These holidays are generated exclusively for a particular offer and are applicable only to that offer. These holidays are created for the Offer and not for each individual course within the offer. The system will automatically apply the holidays to each course in the offer based on the dates of the holidays and of the courses in the offer.

All offer holidays are of type ‘Extend’.

3. Update the Holiday Details.

4. Click on Save to finish.

   

Delete Offer Holidays

You can only remove holidays linked to an offer before it's converted or accepted. Once the offer is converted, it is not possible to delete holidays associated with that offer.

1. Go to the Holidays tab in the offer.

2. Click on the Delete icon on the holiday that you’d like to delete.

3. Confirm to delete. This cannot be undone.
