Attributes

You can apply specific attributes to courses in CMS. These help us to make sure that students get the correct level of support during the application process.

There is no limit on the number of attributes you can apply to a single course. However, not all attributes are applicable to both undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

Course attributes can significantly affect a student’s entitlement, so you must ensure any attributes you add to a course are correct.

You can add the following information in the Attributes section: 

• NHS Bursary
• distance learning
• placement year
• intercalated course
• medicine/dentistry course
• undergraduate entry
• graduate entry
• paramedic
• Operating Department Practice
• pre-registration
• Dental Hygiene/Therapy
• Higher Technical Qualification

Once you’ve saved a course, you’re able to change some of the attributes yourself by selecting the Edit button in the Course Details section. You can change:

• placement year
• intercalated course

In certain circumstances we may be able to change the following attributes for you once you have saved a course. You must contact ssin_queries@slc.co.uk to request the change.

• distance learning
• medicine/dentistry course
• Dental Hygiene/Therapy
• paramedic
• Operating Department Practice

The Foundation year attribute can’t be changed. If you need to make this change, you’ll need to create a new course and submit a change of circumstances for any affected students.
