Program Cohorts

For courses which are given more than once in an academic year, the course name or Course ID should identify this: for example Intersession 1 (2011-12), Intersession 2 (2011-12), Intersession 3 (2011-12), IDS 33A, IDS 33B, etc. Creating multiple instances of a course within an academic year is handled using the Course Rollover feature. For courses that are given more than once in an academic year, the listings are in chronological order according to start date.

In order to populate courses with learner groups, the course must first be associated with the desired Program(s), as well as the desired learner cohorts within that program. Cohorts are listed by graduation year. If you select the program Doctor of Medicine - BRIDGES, and its cohort Class of 2027, then the course will now be eligible for population with any learner or learner group from that program / cohort. A course may be associated with any number of programs and cohorts, allowing for interdisciplinary courses as well as mixed level courses. In the example below, Doctor of Medicine >> Class of 2027 has been added to the course.

Select Cohort

To add or remove Cohorts from a Course, click the Manage Cohorts button as shown below. This appears at the bottom of the Course Details section.

In this case, we want to add the Doctor of Medicine - BRIDGES Class of 2026 to this Course. Click on its label as shown below.

After Adding Cohort

Now that the action detailed above has taken place, the School of Medicine - BRIDGES - Class of 2026 has been successfully attached to the Course as shown below.

Remove Cohort

Cohorts can also be removed from a Course in a similar manner. The steps are documented below.

After performing the action shown above, we need to complete the process by clicking the green Save/Done button.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If a Program Cohort is removed from a Course, any offerings associated with Learner Groups from the removed Cohort are NOT removed from the system. Learner Groups from the removed Cohort will simply no longer be available for selection in Offerings in this Course.
