Programs Tutorial

audience this guide is written for administrators and registrars who manage academic configuration, enrollment, reporting, and transcript setup in ampeducator it’s especially helpful for anyone responsible for building and maintaining programs , or for schools transitioning from short term session setups to structured programs for better transcript and reporting accuracy purpose to explain how to correctly create and manage programs in ampeducator — including how to configure program details, structure courses and fees, and generate accurate transcripts by program series overview this tutorial is part 2 of the “academic sessions & programs” series part 1 academic sessions tutorial docid\ elx15 tmqjheoqagbu p3 how to structure terms, years, and intakes part 2 programs tutorial docid\ myqr9pgwejvk2vq6flhdp configuring programs, building them, and managing enrollment, audits, and program transcripts you can read each part independently, but together they form a complete foundation for setting up your academic structure in ampeducator 🎥 tutorial videos — program setup in ampeducator this tutorial includes two short videos that walk through the core parts of setting up your programs they’re a helpful visual reference for understanding program configuration and creating new programs, but you can also follow the full written guide below, which walks you through each step and includes additional information and examples 🎥 video walkthrough program configuration docid\ myqr9pgwejvk2vq6flhdp 🎥 video walkthrough creating and customizing a new program docid\ myqr9pgwejvk2vq6flhdp introduction in ampeducator, programs define the structure and requirements of what a student is studying — whether it’s general english level 3 , ielts preparation , or a diploma in hospitality management each program contains the course components a student must complete in order to earn a credential or finish that program it brings together courses, grading scales, and fees under one organized framework, allowing you to manage progress and reporting at the program level for many institutions, especially language schools and training programs , programs can also represent levels or stages of study — for example, english level 1 , intermediate business skills , or advanced it fundamentals each level or program contains the courses a student must complete before progressing or earning a credential programs act as the foundation for your academic structure they connect your courses and sessions, determine how transcripts are generated, and ensure students’ academic records remain consistent over time how programs work with sessions and intakes programs work alongside academic sessions and program intakes to form your school’s complete academic calendar sessions define when learning takes place — for example, a 2026 academic year programs define what students are studying — the structured package of courses, components, and requirements a student must complete to finish their studies or earn a credential intakes define when students begin that program within a session — for example, 2026 intake 1 (january) or intake 2 (march) by linking programs with sessions and intakes, you can easily manage multiple start dates, ongoing enrollments, and organized academic reporting — without having to create new sessions for every small group or course rotation why programs are important for accurate reporting and transcripts programs make it possible to track student progress and produce transcripts that reflect complete academic paths, not just individual courses when programs are structured correctly, ampeducator can automatically calculate gpa, attendance, and completion status — even across multiple sessions this structure ensures consistency in academic records, simplifies transcript generation, and allows schools to report on student achievement clearly and accurately — regardless of the type of program or study format programs overview programs are managed from the programs tab in the main navigation this page lists all existing programs in your system and provides a quick snapshot of their key details — including status , credential type , duration , and student progress each program represents a structured set of courses and requirements that a student must complete to finish a level or earn a credential depending on your institution, a program might represent a diploma, certificate, or even a single level in a multi level curriculum the program list view includes several columns to help you manage and track progress across all programs location indicates which campus or site the program is offered at status shows whether the program is currently active or inactive program name the title of the program, which can be clicked to open its details version useful if your institution revises or updates program requirements weeks / hours defines the expected length and total instructional hours for the program format identifies whether the program runs full time or part time credential displays the type of award the student receives upon completion enrolled / completed / withdrawn tracks the number of students currently in progress, finished, or withdrawn from the program % avg and gpa provide performance summaries for all students within the program from here, you can quickly view, edit, or create programs using the action icons on the right before creating a new program, it’s important to first review your program configuration this ensures that the way your programs calculate grades, credits, and audits aligns with your institution’s academic policies program configuration before creating new programs, it’s important to review your program configuration settings these settings apply globally to all programs in your system and define how calculations, fields, and sub statuses behave program configuration is found under institution config → programs , and it includes three tabs defaults , custom , and sub stati 🎥 video walkthrough program configuration below, you’ll find a video walkthrough that takes you through each part of the program configuration page step by step if you prefer a more detailed explanation or want to follow along at your own pace, the full written walkthrough continues right below the video defaults tab the defaults tab controls how the system calculates grades, handles repeated and transfer courses, and determines which courses count toward a program audit these defaults apply across all programs to ensure consistent reporting and transcript data repeat course calculation determines which grade should be used when a student repeats a course first – uses the grade from the first attempt most recent – uses the latest attempt highest average – uses the best result (this is the most common setting) cumulative calculation controls which courses are included in cumulative totals like gpa and total credits use all program courses – includes every course that belongs to the program, even if the student repeated one use only courses applied – includes only the course attempts actually applied to the program for example, if a student repeats his100 twice, this setting uses only the attempt the system selected (based on your repeat calculation setting, such as highest average or most recent ) this ensures that duplicate or replaced course attempts don’t inflate totals if you’re using “use only courses applied,” the courses used in the calculation depend on how the repeat course calculation is set for example, if “highest average” is selected, only that best result is included in the cumulative totals audit courses specifies which courses are considered during program audits use all courses – includes all courses the student has taken use only courses after start – excludes older courses, counting only those taken after the program start date (useful for transfer students) if you’re creating programs after students have already completed courses and you want those courses included in their program audits, make sure to select use all courses choosing use only courses after start will exclude any past courses taken before the program’s start date audit transfer credits determines which transfer credits count in program audits use all transfer credits – includes all transfer credits on the student’s record use only transfer credits after start – only counts credits earned after the program start date after adjusting these options, click save to apply your settings globally these defaults can still be overridden for individual programs later if needed custom tab the custom tab allows you to add up to 20 additional data fields to programs that aren’t part of the default setup these fields appear at the bottom of the details section, just above the program description , on each program profile page they’re best used for school specific details that aren’t included in the standard program fields, helping you customize ampeducator for your institution’s needs adding custom fields to programs click new custom field , and a window will appear where you can create your field enter a field label — this is the name that will appear on the program profile next, select a field type from the dropdown menu text for short, single line entries text area for longer notes or descriptions select list creates a dropdown menu with predefined options checkbox for yes/no or true/false options radio buttons allows multiple choices, but only one can be selected date adds a calendar date picker if you choose select list or radio buttons , enter your list of options separated by commas (for example beginner, intermediate, advanced ) once saved, the field will appear in the program custom fields list, and it will also display at the bottom of the details section on all program profiles sub stati tab the sub stati tab lets you add additional classifications under each main program status this helps track more specific enrollment types or outcomes without creating entirely new statuses once set up, sub statuses can be assigned when enrolling, updating, completing, or withdrawing a student from a program they appear in the student list , on transcripts , and in view student program — helping you report and track student progress more precisely creating a new sub status click new sub status to open the setup window choose the status from the list — enrolled , completed , or withdrawn these are the three main program statuses that sub statuses can be added under then, enter the sub status name that provides more specific detail about the student’s situation or progress within that main status press add to save your new sub status it will appear in the program sub stati list and can be selected when enrolling, updating, completing, or withdrawing a student from a program sub statuses also display in the student list , on transcripts , and in view student program once your program configuration is set up the way you want, you can move on to creating your individual programs you can always make changes to your configuration later if needed — just remember to recalculate your program totals afterward for any updates to take effect creating and customizing a new program this section walks you through the full process of creating and customizing a new program in ampeducator the video below provides a detailed, step by step demonstration of every field and setting you’ll use during setup if you’d like even more explanation or prefer to follow along at your own pace, the written guide beneath the video breaks down each part in additional detail 🎥 video walkthrough creating and customizing a new program creating a new program click new program to open the setup window in the new program modal, enter the following details location select the campus or site where this program is offered program code a unique identifier for the program (for example, bus100 or eng lvl1 ) program name the full name of the program as it will appear on reports and transcripts credential awarded choose the credential type that students receive upon completion — such as certificate , diploma , or degree these options are pulled from the institution config → credentials settings once complete, click add to create the program if you enter a program code that already exists, ampeducator will automatically create a new version of that program using the next available version number customizing the program profile once you’ve created a new program, you can edit its settings through the program profile this is where you’ll define how the program functions — including key academic details, grading and attendance rules, and custom fields unique to your institution to open a program profile, go to programs , then click the edit (✏️) icon next to the program you want to update at the top of the page, you’ll see several tabs that organize different areas of program configuration we’ll go through these sections one by one below program details the details tab defines your program’s structure, academic requirements, and how it displays throughout ampeducator general information the fields in this section define the basic setup information that identifies each program within your institution version this number is automatically assigned when a program is created each time you copy a program using the quick action on the programs list, a new version is created and the version number increases by one location select the campus or site where the program is offered students must be assigned to the same location in order to be enrolled in this program this setting is especially important for institutions with multiple campuses or delivery sites status set to active or inactive program identifier optional field for internal use for example, to distinguish between different delivery types or scheduling variations of the same program program code the short unique code used across the system program name / display name the official program name and how it appears on documents program format choose full time or part time program hours / weeks enter the total instructional hours and duration of the program in weeks it’s important to record these accurately, as they’re used for transcript calculations and attendance reporting academic settings these fields define how student performance and academic standing are evaluated within the program total credits displays the combined credit value of all courses linked to the program this updates automatically as you add or edit program components passing mark % / passing mark gpa enter both a percentage and gpa value to define the minimum grade required to pass the program these values are linked to your grading scale setup , which determines how percentages and gpa correspond to letter grades on reports and transcripts display final as choose how the final grade for the program will appear — for example, percentage , grade point , letter grade , pass/fail , or custom display final as alt optional allows you to show an alternate grade format in addition to the main display type (for example, percentage and letter grade ) academic threshold defines the minimum average a student must maintain to remain in good academic standing this value automatically fills in based on your default settings but can be adjusted for individual programs academic marginal sets the lower boundary for marginal performance students with averages between this value and the academic threshold are marked as marginal , while anything below this value is considered review status like the threshold, this value is pre filled from your defaults but can be customized as needed for the program attendance settings attendance rules determine how a student’s attendance status is evaluated within the program override defaults select this option to enable custom attendance settings for the program when unchecked, the program uses the institution’s default attendance rules pulled from institution config / students / attendance docid\ fez7dwotdffln5bnyaifc marg attend % < defines the attendance percentage below which a student’s status becomes marginal rev attend % < defines the attendance percentage threshold below which a student’s status becomes review marg attend crses > determines the number of courses a student can fall below the marginal attendance threshold before their overall program attendance status changes to review rev attend crses > the number of courses a student can fall below the review attendance threshold before being placed in review status attendance avg calc defines how attendance is weighted when calculating the program average weighted equally by course each course contributes equally to the attendance average, regardless of credits or hours weighted by course credits attendance is weighted according to each course’s assigned credit value weighted by course hours attendance is weighted based on the total instructional hours of each course weighted by course hours delivered attendance is weighted by the hours actually delivered, useful for variable hour or modular courses credentials and distinction this section defines how the program is recognized upon completion and how academic honors are applied these settings control the credential students earn and any distinctions that appear on their transcripts credential awarded select the credential students will receive upon completing the program — for example, certificate , diploma , or degree the available options are configured under institution config / credentials docid\ kiwfo1lf zw8z7fnha9vv distinction group choose the distinction that can be applied to students who meet specific academic achievement criteria (for example, with distinction or honors ) distinction groups are configured under institution config / students / academic docid\ lav0vg ekp0iaqaukl8i and appear on transcripts when applicable notes, custom fields, and program description this final section lets you record internal details or additional information about the program you can add notes for staff reference, include any custom fields you’ve configured, and provide a full program description notes add any internal comments or administrative notes related to the program notes are visible only to staff and do not appear on transcripts or student facing documents custom fields any custom fields you’ve added in institution config / programs / custom docid\ i7kcrpfso8fejmq4qcso0 will appear here these allow your institution to collect additional program specific information beyond the default options (for example, language of instruction, practicum requirement, or student group type) program description add a summary or overview of the program this field is primarily for internal use but can also be used as a merge field in templates and custom documents compliance the compliance section is used by institutions in ontario and british columbia that have requested ampeducator to enable compliance tracking it allows you to record the required information for registered programs to meet provincial regulatory reporting standards if your institution does not operate in these regions or has not requested compliance tracking to be enabled, this tab will not appear in your program profile components the components section defines all the courses that make up a program — in other words, everything a student needs to complete to earn their credential each program includes at least one primary component category, which is created automatically you can add additional components to separate courses into logical groupings that match how your program is structured — for example, by year , semester , or type (such as mandatory and elective ) within each component, you can set both required credits and total credits required credits specify how many credits students must complete from that component total credits represent the total number of courses or credits available within it this gives flexibility — for example, if a program offers five electives totaling 5 0 credits, but students are only required to complete 3 0 adding courses to a component every program includes at least one primary component , which is automatically created when the program is added you can start by adding all your program’s courses to this component, then create additional components for better organization if necessary — for example, separating courses by year , semester , or type ( mandatory vs elective ) to add courses to a component click the add course (+) icon beside the component name in the new course window, you can enter the course details manually ( course code , course name , course credits , etc ) select use course template to choose from existing course templates you can select multiple courses at once, and the details will automatically populate based on your selections click add to save the course the total credits field will update automatically as you add more continue adding courses to the same component until all required courses for that category have been added expanding a component you can view or manage the courses within any component by expanding it click the expand (➕) icon next to the component name to display all courses assigned to that component from here, you can review the list of courses and their credits edit course details if needed (such as name, code, or credits) remove courses that no longer apply to the program as you make changes, the total credits for the component will update automatically after adding your courses, you’ll still need to determine how many of them students are required to complete this is defined in the required credits field, which you can adjust when editing the component editing a component you can edit a component to rename it or change its required credits start by clicking the edit icon beside the component name update the component name or adjust the required credits field to set how many credits students must complete from that component (the total may be higher if there are electives) click save to save your changes creating a new component if your program includes multiple groups of courses — for example, mandatory and elective — you can add more components click new component to open the setup window enter a component name and set required credits click add to save once added, the new component will appear in the list below the primary component you can add courses to it or edit it in the same way fees in the fees section, you can add fees specific to each program if your institution uses different fee classes, for example, domestic and international, you can assign each fee to a class when you add it this automatically organizes fees into separate categories, making it easier to manage and track different fee structures for each type of student or program fee classes are configured under institution config / students / fee classes docid\ aposlkedpymk bqate8y1 adding a new program fee click new program fee to add a new fee in the new fee window, fill in the following details fee class docid\ aposlkedpymk bqate8y1 select the fee class

add a short label or note to identify the fee amount enter the total fee amount taxes docid\ d19vog1usfxnu8p8ymb2z select a tax option if applicable click add to save your fee once added, the fee will appear under its assigned fee class in the list you can continue adding as many fees as needed for each class viewing and managing program fees after you’ve added fees, they’ll appear in a list under the fees section if your institution uses fee classes , your fees will be grouped by class (for example, domestic or international ) click the + icon on the left of a fee class to expand it and view all individual fees in that category you can also edit or delete individual fees from within a fee class this way click the + icon on the right of a fee class to add a new fee directly within that class if your institution doesn’t use fee classes, all fees will simply appear together in one list instead of being grouped by category grading scale the grading scale section lets you define how letter grades, percentages, and grade points (gp) relate to each other for the program each grade represents a range between the percentage entered and the percentage assigned to the next higher grade for example, if a = 85% (3 7 gp) and a+ = 90% (4 0 gp) , then any mark between 85–89% would be recorded as an a (3 7 gp) in the details section of the program setup, you can choose how the final grade is displayed on transcripts and online — as a percentage , grade point , letter grade , or even both by using the display final as alt option editing the grading scale you can enable or disable any grade by checking or unchecking the box beside it only the grades that are enabled will be available for use in the program you can also edit the percentage (%) and grade point (gp) values for each letter grade as needed once you’ve made your changes, click update scale resetting the grading scale if you ever need to return to the original settings, click reset scale to defaults , located under the grading scale, to restore the system’s default grading scale values custom grading scales the custom grading scales section lets you define your own grading system for a program unlike the standard grading scale, this feature allows you to set up custom grade names, percentages, and grade points — giving you full flexibility to match your institution’s grading rules or special requirements adding a new custom grading scale to create a new custom grading scale, click new custom grading scale a window will open where you can enter the custom grading scale name choose a grade rounding option that determines how the system handles grades that fall between defined grade boundaries round grades to closest – the grade is rounded to whichever boundary it’s nearest to example if a b is 80% and a b+ is 85%, then 83% would round to b+, since it’s closer to 85% round grades down – the grade will always round down to the lower boundary example 83% would be recorded as a b, even though it’s closer to a b+ round grades up – the grade will always round up to the higher boundary example 81% would be recorded as a b+, instead of a b click add to save your new scale will now appear in the list with the name and rounding rule you selected adding custom grading scale items once your custom grading scale has been created, you can begin adding the individual grades that make it up click the + icon on the right side of your custom grading scale to add a new item in the add custom grading scale item window, enter the following details grade name – the label for the grade grade percentage – the minimum percentage required to achieve this grade grade point – the grade point value associated with this grade (for example, 4 0 for distinction or 0 0 for fail ) click add to save you can continue adding as many grades as your custom scale requires managing grading scale items once you’ve added items, you can view and manage them using the expand (➕) icon on the left side of the custom grading scale expanding the scale shows a list of all the grades within it from here, you can review grade names, percentages, and grade points edit existing items to adjust percentages or point values delete grades that are no longer part of the custom scale adding a default custom grading scale if your institution uses the same grading system across multiple programs, you can create default custom grading scales in advance these are set up under institution config / courses / grading docid\ pv2d4opwhdv5jzhbcgnvc and can be quickly added to any program when needed to add one, click more actions, then select add default custom grading scale select the grading scale you want to use from your list of preconfigured options once added, the default scale appears in the custom scales section, where you can still expand, review, or make edits as needed students the students section displays all students currently enrolled in the program along with key details such as their starting session, enrollment status, attendance, hours, absence percentage, final percentage, total credits, and academic status this gives you a clear, at a glance overview of each student’s
