Program Creation Update

[CarlyCotton]

User Story
When an institution user creates a program, it must comply with SABC policies in order to be immediately validated/approved by SIMS. For exceptional circumstances the programs will need to be manually reviewed by IPDT. The current policy is that all programs must be offered in a full time capacity (FT offering) in order to be eligible. SIMS does not directly ask this, instead we ask "Are students able to take this on a part time basis?". Answering Yes, means FT and PT offerings can be created without requiring an exception. Answering No, means only FT offerings can be created without requiring an exception. The way the question is phrased can lead to a misunderstanding of policy, and answers that could be technically correct but against policy (eg Answering "Yes" that students can take the program on a PT basis but missing the fact that they cannot take it on a FT basis [which is the policy.])
