Edval Class Code
When entering the Class Code, it's important to ensure accuracy, as there are specific rules and guidelines to be followed in Edval.
The format for a Class code is either
<Year> <Course> <Class Identifier>
<Year> <Course> <Separator><Class Identifier>
Course codes can be a maximum of 20 characters.
Class Identifier can be a maximum of 10 characters.
The LISS Standard says:
The class code must be in the format of <courseCode> and <class identifier> separated by a space, e.g 9MAT 1, even if both SIS and satellite systems use a different form of class codes.
Maximum 20 characters.
"ClassCode" : "9MAT 3",
"EdvalClassCode" : "9MAT3",
The Class identifier can be a letter, a number, a combination of both or none at all. Where the Class Identifier has more than 1 character, a separator must be used.
Separators are either a dot (.), a hyphen (-) or an underscore (_).
Please also note that punctuation marks also seem to be used as the separator instead of the space
"ClassCode" : "12PDH DE",
"EdvalClassCode" : "12PDH.DE",
But in the case where they have used two punctuation symbols only the rightmost is used as the separator eg:
"ClassCode" : "12/11Study. TueB4",
"EdvalClassCode" : "12/11Study.!TueB4",
We also see codes like this:
"ClassCode" : "9Assembl y",
"EdvalClassCode" : "9Assembly",
For a single class, it is suggested to add a bogus class ID. eg “9TEX 1”
If you do not wish to have an identifier for their single classes, they can have it as 9TEX. with a 'dot' at the end.
