An academic subject is an area of study to which courses are assigned. If academic section data is being imported from a student information system, subject records will be automatically added to the Astra Schedule database as they are imported. However, subject records can also be manually added and edited directly in Astra Schedule as well.

 

Select the Subjects option from the Academics tab to view a list of subjects in the application. You may search for a specific subject and limit the number of subjects displayed using the Find Subjects area on the left side of the page. To search for specific subjects, enter keyword search criteria in the boxes at the top of the form and then click Search to view your results. Only those subjects with matching keywords will be returned in the list. Finally, use the Active drop-down option to view subjects that are active, inactive, or either. Click on the subject name to view additional details about the subject record.
