I too am having problems, as well as the issues detailed below, there
does not appear to be a way of showing a franchise course to be studied
at more that one college. Also we are a multi site Institution where the
support cheques need to go to the site offices but the tuition feees
should come to the main site and there does not seem to be a way to show
this either,. The SLC I am sure are being bombarded with questions, and
I am waiting for a return call,
but this does not help us out here!
