Once the data reporter arrives at Stage Two, the system reconfirms that the course was subjected to Stage One criteria. Stage Two further certifies that the course is a Technical Degree program requirement and guides the level assignment of these courses. The data reporter accesses Stage Three through Stage One. This stage is designed to glean from the remaining universe of courses those in categories that are not unique to a particular field of study but rather to the type of course, to the curricular significance of the course, or to aspects of the course which define its level. In reaching this stage, the course universe has been considerably reduced.
Some fields of study have common criteria, and have been combined within one slide.
