For example CS_SWS_TLR. These courses are for staff use only Course Suffix Meaning 18-9, 19-0, 20-1 Academic year in which the course ran. 19-0MOD Blackboard course which brings together the taught occurrences of a RISIS module. Typically this is the only version of a module which staff will see in Blackboard. The MOD course automatically merges student enrolments from RISIS occurrence codes including: A, H, J, K, V (bringing together Study Abroad / Visiting / Attendance Only students with the main student cohort). MOD is also used where two or more separate module codes are combined into a single course in Blackboard. In this case, the course name in Blackboard will include ‘Merged Course’. 19-0A RISIS occurrence code: first (or only) offering of a module in the given academic year. These A occurrence courses will automatically be merged into the main MOD course in Blackboard. Staff will not normally see A occurrences as separate courses in Blackboard. 19-0B RISIS module occurrence code – the second offering of a module in the given academic year, with a later start date than occurrence A. B occurrences are NOT automatically merged into the main MOD course in Blackboard. Staff will see B occurrences as separate courses in Blackboard. 19-0MA, 19-0MB, 19-0MC Module being taught at the University of Reading Malaysia campus. MA is the first (or only) offering of a module in Malaysia, in the given academic year. MB and MC represent the second and third student cohorts in the given academic year. 19-0SUP Supplementary Course, which is being used in addition to an individual RISIS modules or programme. 19-0PR Degree programme. 18-9NR Courses that are not recorded in RISIS. From 2020/21 such courses will be set up with a SUP suffix.
