The Open Service Interface Definitions for the org.osid.course.registration service.

The Course Registration OSID provides course registration services.

RegistrationTarget

A RegistrationTarget is a set of activities within a CourseOffering in which a student can register. A CourseOffering may have a variety of activity offerings and the registration target groups sets of these offerings together. For example, each section of a class may have a lecture and a lab but multiple labs may be offered. For each valid registration option grouping together a lecture and one of the offered labs is presented as a RegistrationTarget .

Some registration mechanisms only require a registration at the CourseOffering level and do not permit students to select below that level. In this case, a single RegistrationTarget is created for the top level CourseOffering .

RegistrationTargets may further constrain the grading and credit options defined at the CourseOffering level.

When an existing registration is updated a new Registration is created.
