How to set up Subject Classification

How to set up Subject Classification

Subject Classification is used to group subjects into specific roles or categories (e.g. Core Subjects, Elective Subjects or Creative Arts). The system uses these classifications to determine which subjects meet promotion criteria and how report cards are structured.

My School > System > Curriculum > Pass Requirements > Subject Classification

Step 1 — Define classifications per phase

  1. Select the relevant Phase from the list.

  2. Click Add and enter the Name (in English and Afrikaans), a unique Subject classification code and a numeric Order value.

  3. Select the phase in the left column (available) and use the Right arrow to move it to the right column (linked).

  4. Click Save.

Step 2 — Classify subjects

  1. Click the Classify subjects tab.

  2. Select the Grade and choose one of the roles created in Step 1.

  3. Select the subjects in the left column and move them to the right to link them.

  4. Click Save.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a role not appear in the Classify subjects selection list?

The classification role must first be defined in Step 1 and linked to the relevant phase before it becomes available in Step 2. Without a defined role there is no container for the subjects.
