Part of the automated matching relies on Course Departments. Each course has a department. These departments must be associated with Grad Student Degree Codes.

The associated Degree Codes will be used to match Grad Students in certain degrees with courses that have available TA slots.

For example, If the Degree Code 063 is associated with the ANTHRO Course Department code, any ANTHRO courses may have Grad Students with the 063 Degree Code matched to any open slots that remain after the stable marriage match.

Course Departments are pulled from all registrar courses for a school since the previous spring quarter.

The Edit link allows Degree Codes to be added or removed from a Course Department.

Once the Edit link for a Course Department is selected, a drop down list of Degree Codes is available for adding new Degree Codes. Degree Codes are added one at a time.

To Delete a Degree Code association, check the Delete box on the Course Department Edit link.

No changes are made until the Update button is clicked on the Course Department Edit link. So if the Update button is not clicked, no Degree Code Associations will be added or deleted.
