NSC Program Length Type Definitions
Important
Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.
Use this page to manage National Clearinghouse (NSC) program length types. Program length types are measurement units (months, weeks, or years) to help indicate how long it typically takes to complete a specific program. The types are provided as default data. You can't delete them or create new ones, but you can make them active or inactive. (An inactive definition is still available in drop-downs, but it's marked as inactive.)
These are the NSC program type definitions:
W: Week
M: Month
Y: Year

You can manage the definitions in Desktop, too, on the NSC Program Length Type Definition window. Changes you make in Desktop apply to J1 Web, and vice versa.
