Courses can be tagged and belong to multiple Course Attributes. Classes inherit Course Attributes from the Course Catalog.
Courses Attributes must have at least one Course Attribute Value, but can have multiple Course Attribute Values. For example, we categorize classes by the Course Level (Course Attribute) and the categories we assign to them are "Upper Division", "Lower Division", etc. (Course Attribute Values). An example with multiple values is the "General Education Requirement" Course Attribute, which has various Course Attribute Values assigned that specify the type of General Education Requirement the course fulfills (e.g. "A1 Oral Communication", "B2 Life Science", etc.)
Business Rules

Course attributes are attached to courses on the Catalog Data page and to classes on the Basic Data page. Unlike requirement designations, course attributes do not transfer to PeopleSoft Academic Advisement."[1]
