Adding Courses to the Roadmap

• Right click your mouse on the year and term of the roadmap for which you'd like to add courses.
• From the menu that appears, select Add Course.
• A small window will open where you will enter the department abbreviation and course number for the course you would like to add to your roadmap. Note: This must match the way the course would appear within the audit.
• Select OK
• If the course is used in more than one sub-requirement you will be asked to select one of the sub-requirements and click OK.

Using this method, you will add courses to the Roadmap until all requirements and sub-requirements have been completed  for this Program. To verify that courses you're adding are meeting requirements use the Sync functionality located at the top of the page.

Editing the Roadmap

By right clicking your mouse at different levels you can edit your Roadmap.

At the Year Level: 

• Add Term - will allow you to add another term to that year on the Roadmap. This may be useful if a student can take courses over the summer to meet the degree program requirements.

At the Year-Term Level:

• Add Requirement - this allows you to manually add requirement text and hours directly to the Roadmap. You can then add courses to this requirement using one of the two methods listed above.
• Add Course - allows you to add a course to the Roadmap in this Year/Term. You can do so by dragging or dropping or right-clicking and filling in the required fields.
• Delete - will remove the year-term, and all of the requirements and courses within, from the Roadmap.

At the Requirement Level:

• Edit - this allows you to change the requirement text and/or credit hours required.
• Add Course - will add a course directly to this requirement
• Add Course List - adds a course list to this requirement. This means the course list is displayed in an external place such as on your website. Adding a course list in u.direct indicates to the student that they need to reference this resource in order to select a course to take.
• Set Status - allows you to indicate that this requirement is:
  • Required (indicates to student that the requirement is necessary to fulfill degree program)
  • Preferred (indicates that it preferential that a student fulfill this requirement over another similar one)
  • Critical (indicates that the fulfillment of the requirement is necessary for graduation)
• Delete - will remove the requirement and all courses within from the Roadmap.

At the Course Level:

• Course Description - a view of the course description and property values
• Set Status - allows you to indicate that this course is:
  • Required (indicates to a student that they must take that particular course to meet the degree program requirement)
  • Preferred (used in cases where two courses may be taken to meet a requirement but one is preferred over the other)
  • Critical (can be used in cases where the student needs this course into to meet graduation or degree program requirements)
• Toggle Course/Course List - with this feature you can switch between a course and a course list or vice versa.
• Delete  will remove the course/course list from the Roadmap.  

  NOTE: Some sub-requirements contain 'grouped' courses, which are usually course ranges, and/or'd courses, etc: If you delete all the courses from the group by using the delete method described above, the box that separates the group will not be deleted: .   To get rid of it, you must delete the entire sub-requirement and manually add the courses from the sub-requirement you want to show on the roadmap or use this workaround:   1) Drag only the empty box for the group to a different term. This will put the empty box in its own separate sub-requirement. 2) Right click on the new sub-requirement that was completed. Select Delete from the menu. 3) This will delete the empty box without forcing you to remove all the course from the term in which the group originally resided.   This is a known bug and will be fixed in a future release.
