Student Systems: CCAM User Guide

Staff holding the Input & Amend Course Details role will be required to set-up and maintain course instances including Exam Information.

The Exam Information captured as free text during the Course Proposal and Approval process can now be recorded in a structured format. This information will be used by Registry to produce the Exam Timetable and is therefore critical.

In addition the Exam Information will be displayed in the online Course Catalogue available to student's via the DRPS website.
