The seven course requirement wizard steps and what to do in each step
Step	What you do
1. Requirement Info	Say where the requirement sits and what it is worth.
2. Requirement type	Choose one of five types. This is the decision that shapes everything after it.
3. Choose courses	Pick the actual courses. What you see depends entirely on step 2.
4. Locations	Set the campuses and modality.
5. Prerequisites	Select prerequisites as appropriate.
6. Notes	Add any notes for students.
7. Review & save	Check everything and submit.

Step 1 — Requirement Info

Titled Where does this requirement go? on screen. Program, catalog year and degree are inherited from the roadmap you are editing, so you only set the slot's own properties: Year, Semester, Expected applied credit hours, an optional Slot label, whether it is an elective, whether it is expected advance level, the Expected course level, and the Minimum grade required. Required fields are marked with a red asterisk.

Step 1 of the Edit course requirement wizard, titled Where does this requirement go. Fields include Year, Semester, Expected applied credit hours, optional Slot label, elective status, expected advance level, Expected course level and Minimum grade required. — Step 1, Requirement Info.

Step 2 — Requirement type

Pick the card that matches what you want the student to do. Get this right and the rest of the wizard follows naturally.

Step 2 of the Edit course requirement wizard asking What kind of requirement is this. Five choices are shown: University College UNIV course, Core curriculum category, One specific course, Minor requirement, and Course list or range electives. — Step 2. Choose one of five requirement types.

Each type behaves differently at step 3. See The Five Requirement Types for a walkthrough of all five.

Steps 4 to 6

Locations. Indicate the campus or campuses where the requirement is offered, and the modality.
Prerequisites. Select prerequisites as appropriate for the courses in this slot.
Notes. Type any note students should see, then click Add note to table before continuing.

Step 4, Locations, in the Edit course requirement wizard. Location choices include Edinburg, Brownsville, Laredo, Online and Travel Needed. Multiple locations can be selected, and the selected location codes are shown before continuing. — Step 4, Locations.

Step 7 — Review and save

Check every step's entries, then submit. A confirmation message reads Course requirements added successfully.

Confirmation dialog with a check mark and the message Course requirement added successfully, followed by an OK button. — Confirmation that the requirement was saved.

Repeat this process for every slot, in every semester, of every year of the degree.
