Activity Codes
ACTIVITY CODES/COURSE COMPONENTS
Note the importance of properly coding the activity of the course. Each activity has different COMAR requirements in relation to hours, and the code dictates how classes can/will be built in GullNet.
*”Hours” are calculated by dividing true # of minutes by 50. (“Hour” = 50 minutes)
