Course Rep Lookup Tool
The Course Rep lookup tool is easy to use, depending on the information available to you, you can lookup the program rep for a specific course, by either their program_id, or by program_name, these appear on the page as two dropdown boxes, and should be in alphabetical order, you need only use one of the options, but once you choose one and scroll down the list to the specific id or name and select it, the page will refresh and the table showing program reps for that course will be populated.

So long as the following three criteria have been met;

  • You have a course_id assigned to you.
  • Your institution programme file, has been completed, and contains your course_id
  • Following the process above, or by CSV Upload, a Course Rep has been assigned to your course_id

As a student, if you navigate to the URL above on a UnionCloud site, then a system page is generated which will show you any student that is listed as a programme representetive for your course. It has the ability to display more than one, and as you saw in the 'Adding a New Course Rep' screen above, the title is Open Text, which means you can set the label as you wish, so you could have One School President who shows for everyone on any number of courses within a school, and then also have a handful of course reps show up for one course.
