Subject Database

Overview

The Subject Database is a component of the Student Administration Interface and was once primarily used to add/maintain subjects and subject instance (session, campus, and mode of delivery) information such as subject descriptions, quotas, pre-requisites, co-requisites, exclusions, and subject shares.  Faculty staff used to maintain Lecturer, Co-ordinator, and Tutor access to SMP_Central via Staff Associations. 

COSMOS system owned by Future Education now integrates into the Subject Database. For COSMOS mastered subjects, some data still needs to be maintain within the subject database.

There is some subjects that are still SMP Mastered Subjects and fully maintained within the Subject Database
