Subject Classification groups subjects into specific roles or categories (e.g. Core Subjects, Electives, Creative Arts). These classifications help the system identify which subjects fulfil specific promotion, average and reporting criteria across different educational phases.

Frequently asked questions

Why is a classification role not appearing in the Classify Subjects tab?

The Phase associated with that grade must first be allocated in Tab 1. If the phase is still in the Unallocated column, the role will not be available as a classification option in Tab 2.

Can I assign subjects before defining roles?

No. The Classify Subjects dropdown in Tab 2 pulls data from Tab 1. Roles must be defined first before subjects can be assigned to them.
