Table: General Session Properties

Property Description

Event Status

When you create a new session, the Event Status defaults to the status selected in the Default Event/Session Status on Session Creation System Configuration setting. You can change the default Event Status.

Other event statuses are:

  • ActiveThe session is available for enrollment as soon as it is saved.
  • PendingUse this status when you are preparing a session which is not yet available for enrollment.
  • CompletedThe session has finished.
  • ClosedThe session is no longer available for enrollment.
  • CancelledThe session was scheduled but has been cancelled.
  • Invitation OnlyLearners can not self-enroll in the session and must be enrolled by an administrator.
  • RetiredThe course has been retired and any currently enrolled online session can no longer be launched.

For more information about setting the Event Status, and additional options for prompting the user to select a session, see Guidelines for Setting the Event Status.

Change transcript status of enrolled users correspondingly, for changing the event status to Completed, Cancelled or Retired or changing from Prompt User to Select Session to another status

If this check box is selected, the status on the transcripts of the enrolled learners are updated according to changes in event status.

Delivery Language Sessions can be delivered in a specific language you select from the list. For learning modules with more than one session, such as classroom-based courses available in different locations, you can define the learning module as multi-language and specify the delivery language for each session. The languages available are determined by the languages purchased by your organization.
Time Zone You can select the time zone in which the session takes place.
Start Date and End Date You can specify the start date and time and end date and time for the session.
Enrollment Begin Date and Enrollment Deadline To specify a window of time during which learners can enroll in the session, select the begin and deadline dates and times.
Credits Specify the credits for the session.
For program modules with payment configured, enforce payment before first launch Select this check box to take payment for the learning module before it is launched for the first time.

Table: Module Completion Deadlines 

Property Description
On enrollment, calculate deadline as follows

Select an option to calculate the deadline to complete the learning modules in the program session:

  • No deadline, these will be set manually per learner if necessary.
  • [Value] Days from Enrollment (0 implies unlimited)—Specify the number of days from the enrollment allowed to complete the program session.
  • Date Specific Deadline—Specify the program session completion deadline.

New deadline settings must be explicitly applied to the selected learners in order for the new deadline to be reflected in their transcripts.

Once the deadline against a transcript has passed

Select an option:

  • Do nothing, the deadline was just for reference.
  • Set transcript to Deadline Expired and block learner from launching the course.
  • Block learner from launching other courses until they complete this course.
View Participant Deadlines Click this link to view the list of participant status and deadlines. Participant deadlines are calculated on enrollment, thus changing the deadline alone will not affect the deadlines for existing course participants. A change in the course completion deadlines can be applied to learner transcripts with the following statuses:
  • Waitlisted
  • Not Started
  • In Process
  • Pending Approval

This section lists the learning modules (including other programs) that have been associated with this program. You can remove an association from the learning module's Associated Programs page.

Use predefined credits Select this option to award to the participant on completion of the learning module the credits defined in the module's session properties.
Use credits defined below Select this option to specify the number of credits to award to participants on completion of the assigned learning modules. You can specify the number of credits for each module individually. This option takes precedence over the number of credits defined in the learning module's session properties.
Passing Score You can enter a minimum score for passing the program. If you enter a score, learners will fail the program if they do not achieve the passing score. Leave the the passing score set to 0 disable it.

If a learner reaches a FAILED or DEADLINE EXPIRED status for a sub-module: 

Allow learner to re-enroll on the module within the context of this program Enrollment checks like approvals, prerequisites and waitlisting may still apply when the learner re-enrolls.
