Course/Degree Program Status

When you add an item, its status is set to Not Listed. ETV staff check the database for new entries, making sure the additions are appropriate and have no visible errors, misspellings, etc. If the new course/degree program meets the appropriate requirements, the status is changed to Listed and it becomes available to student searches.
