A course is a set of classes that cover a specific subject or area of study at a school or college. It includes details such as course content, duration, and assessment criteria. For example, in a school, a course might be "Grade 5," covering topics appropriate for that grade level. In a college, a course could be "Computer Science" which forms part of a degree program and includes lectures, assignments, and exams.

To access the Course module, navigate to Academic → Course from the left sidebar menu. Users must have the course:read permission to access this module. Each course may contain multiple batches, which can be defined later.

To create a new course, click the "Add Course" button, which will take you to the course form. The form includes fields for the course name, alias, optional code and shortcode, description, and the division name previously created. The payment gateway account input allows you to collect payments in a separate account for each course.

You can also choose to enable or disable registration and set a registration fee for the course. If all batches of the course cover the same subject, you can enable the "Batch with same subject" option.

To edit a course, users must have the course:edit permission, and to delete a course, users must have the course:delete permission.

Each course can have multiple course incharges. To add a course incharge:

1. Click on the "Incharge" button available in the course list table.
2. Users must have the course-incharge:list permission to access this feature.
3. Select the course, choose the incharge's name (from existing employees), and specify the start date.
4. Optionally, provide an end date if the incharge's role is temporary.

To edit a course incharge, users need the course-incharge:edit permission, and to delete a course incharge, users need the course-incharge:delete permission. Each course can have multiple incharges to manage responsibilities effectively and incharges will have access to all the students under that course.
