Multiple Programme Management

Previously a user was by default able to store multiple programme memberships, UnionCloud was designed this way to cater to Universities where students Study Joint Honors and are added to multiple programme codes, and also to cater to colleges where a user is likely to have multiple different courses. An outcome of this was that if an institution sent an updated Student upload file, which included a new Course, say for example a student has changed course, it doesn't instinctively remove the user from the previous course. If an institution wished to end a users programme membership, they needed to update to expire it.
This caused problems as not all institutions sent data to expire users. As a solution we have added an option to Setup which allows Unions to restrict program membership to one program per user, meaning if this option is selected and a user is uploaded with a new programme membership, it will auto expire their previous one and replace it with this one. It can be found at
