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.

  • Please also note that punctuation marks like a dot (.), a hyphen (-) or an underscore (_), 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 the single classes, you can have it as 9TEX. with a 'dot (.)' at the end.
