Modifying courses
CIT imports catalogue data for all courses that were offered in the past two semesters. The import is done once every semester after the course calague (VVZ) of the upcoming semester is set. Course data in the CIT database from the year before is overwritten. This only applies for standard ETH courses. But since the course data is overwritten every year, customizations to courses that should remain in place, need to be made for course copies.
Important: Updates to the course data that have been made via eDoz can be imported at any time upon request. Just send us an email
Create course copies
To make a modification to an existing course, you have to create a copy of the course first. Find the course in the ETH course list. Navigate to the ETH course list by clicking on "Courses" 
at the top menu bar.
Note: A course can also be copied directly from the curriculum view (see below)
Find the course, that you want to copy (using the filters or the search function) and click on the "Copy course" button on the right 
.
The course copy menu opens:
First select from the drop down menu, which project the course copy should be assigned to.
Next, specify basic course data.
First, enter a course number (has to be unique!). By default, the course copy has the original course number, proceeded with "-copy". You may change the course number as long it remains unique. We recommend to use a prefix, such as your initials or an abbreviated project shorthand.
Next, click on 
to edit the course description. You may edit the course title, the course abstract and the course objectives. Both in German and English.

In a last step, you may specify the course offering. You can select the offering departement and the degree programmes the course is offered in. Additionally, you can specify the course categories, both current as well as PAKETH.
Make sure to save the course data by clicking the "Save" button 
.
Note: The competency data of a course can only be edited once the course copy has been saved!
If a course is already part of one of your curricula, you can create a course copy directly by clicking on the course. In the course info box that opens, click the button .
The ensuing steps are as described above.
Assigning custom competencies to courses
Once you have created a copy of a course, you may edit the competence information. You may edit course competence information either in the course list or directly for courses which are part of a curriculum.
