Selecting students eligible for an award

Before you can assign points to students for completing award criteria, you need to define the group of eligible students. Students eligible for a particular award are defined in Class Maintenance as if they were a normal Synergetic class.
You need to select:

• a name for the group of eligible students
• the assessment code for awards at your organisation
• the students eligible for the award
• the staff members who can mark whether students have fulfilled award criteria.
