How to Configure a CXC Type Programme

iSIMS can be configured to allow applicants to apply for CXC subjects and manage the programme accordingly.

Step 1: Create a CXC Programme Award Type

1. Go to Maintenance > Programme Award Type.

2. Create a new award type.

3. Tick the CXC/GCE checkbox.

4. Save the award type.

Step 2: Create Programme and Programme Offering

1. Create and publish a programme with the CXC award type.

2. Create and publish a programme offering for this programme.

   • Use a name and description that clearly indicates this is the option for applying for CXC subjects.

   • After creating the programme offering, click the Courses button to the right of the programme.

   • Instead of attaching courses, attach the subjects you want applicants to choose from.

Step 3: Publish and Review

• Ensure all required subjects are attached.

• Review the offering details.

• Publish the offering with a future application deadline date.

• This will allow applicants to apply for the subjects.

Step 4: Applicant Subject Selection

• During the application process, when applicants select the CXC programme, they will be presented with the list of subjects.

• Applicants must select at least one subject to continue with their application.

Tuition Fees

• Tuition fees for CXC programmes are configured per subject rather than at the programme level.

• This configuration can be customized per institution.

System Behavior

• All other features of the system for this programme operate the same way as any other programme in iSIMS.
