Cost Code style 1 or 2
Hi there,
Does anyone have experience moving from a per-year cost code to a multi-year cost code? We have recently had to add so many codes (co-op programs and now per-term graduate level codes). I noticed the other option in the manual to have a single code for multiple years - screenshot below - does anyone have any qualms or insight on what problems arise when you have multiyear codes? I'm wondering if it is more to manage with adding FT programs, academic progress, harder to read in the academic summary, etc. Photo of the manual to reference the two different styles:

Hi there! Brock standardized CC's back in 2017. Any "Arts" programs with the same fees are all 'ARTSFW1/FW2/FW3" etc with all the programs linked to this CC. Same for business, etc. This reduced our CC's from over 3K to under 1 K but I think it's about time to look at standardizing further and using FA/FW/WI/SP for all years as in option 2. As Martine notes below, doesn't change the # of CC's any further but helps the student not pick the wrong one in the first place. They often think year is how many years they've been studying vs what actual study year they are in (achieved credit count) in their program.
