<h2>Curricula</h2>

<hr>

<p>Within each project you may create multiple curricula. These can be variants of a given curriculum or the same curriculum used to work on by different parts of the project team.</p>

<h2>Creating a new curriculum</h2>

<p>A new curriculum can be created by clicking the plus button <img src='/assets/doc/cit_button_plus_blue-6d0cd1db4c7376e2a4b037750a8e84b66512a970bc3f8ca169562c90ca31d8d5.png' alt='Plus button' height='18px'/></p>

<p>An input mask opens asking you to fill in information on your curriculum.</p>

<p>Please specify</p>

<ul>
<li>The name of your curriculum (e.g. BSc Whateverology)</li>
<li>The number of semesters (max. 10) in your curriculum from the drop down menu.</li>
<li>The assigned ETH degree programme. This will make it a lot easier to find the offered courses in the course menu.</li>
</ul>

<p>Click the &quot;Save&quot; button <img src='/assets/doc/cit_button_save-3386d2f51bce772c4669d5d7ffdfcfa441184b2c7f82b39aa53f4c24504d4a6b.png' alt='Save button' height='18px'/> to save the information and create the project folder.</p>

<h2>The curriculum view</h2>

<p>A newly created curriculum will be empty at first.</p>

<h2>ECTS</h2>

<p>The number of ECTS credits of all course units accumulated are displayed in the ribbon symbol behind the curriculum title.</p>
