LionPATH Course ATTRIBUTES for embedded programs

introduction

All embedded programs should add the ‘EMBEDTRVL’ course attribute to the course related to the travel component of the program.

For some courses this may be the 3-credit class, it could be a standalone supplemental credit course for the travel, or it could be related to the .25 tethered travel component.

Attributes must be removed from any standing courses in the future; course attributes roll, so they will need to be cleaned up each semester, if the course does not have associated travel in a future term.

For questions or more information, please reach out to the Registrar at Registrar@psu.edu.
