Entry Requirements: Visiting Student Pre-requisites
Staff holding the Input & Amend Course Details role will be required to set-up any Entry Requirements that exist for a course.
For University of Edinburgh courses this involves recording any Pre-requisites, Co-requisites or Prohibited Combinations in a structured format that will allow automatic validation of course selections to take place during Online Course Enrolment.
The following example describes the EUCLID process for adding entry requirement details for Visiting Students. These will be captured as free text and will not be validated against during Online Course Enrolment.
Note: The following guidance applies to courses created in EUCLID only. For all courses created in WISARD please continue to update the free text Visiting Student Pre-requisites field in WISARD. This will then be updated in EUCLID as part of the nightly course migration.
Step 1
Retrieve the Course Summary screen for the course being amended. This can be done through the Input & Amend Course Details Task for newly approved courses requiring initial set-up or using the Amend Details link in the DPTs and Courses homepage for open courses.
From the Course Summary screen scroll down to Entry Requirements. In this example there are currently no entry requirements recorded against the course, to set-up an entry requirement click the 
button.
Step 2
The Course Entry Requirements screen is split into three sections:
- University of Edinburgh Courses
- Additional Entry Requirement Details & Non University of Edinburgh Courses
- Visiting Student Pre-requisites
