Offer Subjects
Overview
When offers include courses with a Subject or Units of Study (UoS) pricing, users can manage the details of the subjects within these courses through the Offer Subjects tab. This allows users to ensure that course subjects details align with the academic requirements and student needs before the offer is accepted.
As for subject-based courses, the cost of the course is determined by the cost of each subject, it is convenient for users to be able to modify the subjects at the offer stage, including the start and end dates, the rates and the due dates. For UoS courses, users can manage the dates and the UoS that each subject belongs to.
Once the offer is accepted, the subjects for each course will be added to the respective enrolment and even though they cannot be modified on the offer, changes to subjects are allowed on the enrolments.
