Overview
A course attribute is a designation that helps categorize a course for a specific purpose. For example, a course attribute may indicate whether a course fulfills particular program or graduation requirements or highlights specific course characterisitics such as format or the inclusion of special components (e.g., lab, writing-intensive). Course attributes also assist both students and advisors with identifying courses that meet certain academic requirements.
