Course Attributes

Diversity Attribute

The Diversity attribute is added to courses to assist students in locating topics which increase awareness of diversity. Departments seeking the guidelines for establishing a course as such can refer to the Intercultural & Diversity Committee.

Sustainability Attribute

Any course noted as a sustainable-themed course receives a SUST attribute. Departments seeking the requirements for establishing a course as such can refer to the Climate & Sustainability website for guidelines and request the SUST attribute for a course through CourseLeaf. This must be done through the comments field.

Online Program (DeL) Attribute

The Online Program (DeL) Attribute is placed on all online course offerings. Only students who are enrolled in online programs will qualify for the associated online tuition rate, which is activated by a corresponding student attribute. On-campus students participating in online sections will be subject to the standard tuition rates.

Part-time Degree Completion Attribute

The part-time degree completion attribute (PC) will be placed on student records that are enrolled in part-time degree completion programs. The PC attribute will also be placed on all undergraduate courses offered in the evening (6 p.m. or later) and all undergraduate Architecture courses offered after 5 p.m. Students who have a PC attribute and register for a course that has a PC attribute will be billed the reduced per credit rate. If either the part-time student or the section does not have a PC attribute, respectively, the student will be charged the regular per credit rate.

Writing Intensive Courses

The Writing Intensive (WI) course attribute is only setup at the course catalog level. The WI attribute will automatically populate when a new section of any WI course is created. Departments seeking the requirements for establishing new or modifying existing WI courses or to see a list of WI course should refer to the Writing Intensive Courses at Drexel University.

Tuition-Fee Waived/Non-Billable Courses

Any course determined as non-billable (NBL) requires consultation with the Office of the University Registrar, the Bursar's Office and the Office of the Provost. Courses that are approved to be non-billable will be noted as such at the course catalog level. All courses determined as non-billable will consequently be non-billable at all section offerings. Non-billable course sections should be created in CLSS using section code NBL. For courses not set as non-billable at the course catalog level, an email must be sent to OUR Academic Services immediately to ensure the Tuition and Fee Waiver is checked in Banner before registration can begin. (For multiple NBL sections of the same course, enter: NBL, NB2, NB3...) 

• Prior to the start of registration for every term, departments should audit their course offerings to review all section using 'NBL' as a section number to ensure they're in place. The Hyperion report STU-Term Master Schedule can be run to ensure a 'Y' is in place in the 'Tuiw Ind' column for their non-billable sections.
