Definition for UGRD | This element is used to designate the session type of the section.
Session code is important for understanding funding as well as understanding enrollment management cycles. Most undergraduate sections in fall and spring terms will be coded SESSION 1.
To analyze intersession sections, select all sessions where SESSION begins with IN. Alternatively, you can utilize element CS0036 INTERSESSION. |

- In legacy Datamart, the equivalent of this field was ACCOUNTING METHOD, NUMBER OF WEEKS, and CENSUS DATE.
- SESSION CODE = TUT is correlated with SCHEDULE TYPE = TUT, but there is not a 100% match. To exclude tutoring courses, exclude SCHEDULE TYPE = TUT and CATNUM = 44.
