Academic Program Page

This serves as an informational page about the department including information about what classes may be needed to major or minor in the department. The information is taken from the catalog posted on abacus via a cgi script. All navigation is normal.

Screen shots: Fields: Field Explanation: Field specs:
BodyCopy Not in use on this page Should be empty
Import_html This field imports XML through the use of a script that grabs HTML from the old abacus site. By choosing the option about, it takes the first paragraphs of the abacus catalog page. (Script written by Jim Hart at ILS) Pretty complex. It's best to copy it from another department page. Be sure to update 3 or 4 letter dept. code within link
