Maintaining classes

Introduction
A class is either an academic or a co-curricular class within your organisation. The advantage of maintaining details about co-curricular classes is that you can charge for these classes, record absences and so on, just as you would for academic classes. It allows you to maintain and report on an individual student's non-academic activities.

File types
Use co-curricular file types to select the students who are undertaking a particular class outside the academic area, such as sport or music.
Co-curricular areas have different File Types to normal academic classes. Academic classes have a File Type of A and co-curricular classes have other file types. For example:

File Type	Description
A	Academic
M	Music
S	Summer sport
W	Winter sport
