This element is used to designate the session type of the section.

  • 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.
