Still undecided... On-campus is an attractive option, but I think possibly unlikely given the context of the other designations. That said, it's not clear that courses are allowed only a single designation, but I would think in that event the Uni would be more likely to indicate if a certain course were *off* campus.
Oliver, yes, I saw this too elsewhere in KudoZ, and used something similar, but it still is far from clear to me what exactly is meant. I'll leave this question open a tad longer hoping someone can shed some light on the question.

The diploma is issued by a university. This entry is part of the standard legend that accompanies all transcripts (or so I assume). I find the phrase quite often when Googling, but always in isolation, as in this legend, which is no help. :(

I'm really not sure Amy, but could part of the course be an attachment at the ' headquarters' of an organisation? - it depends what sort of organisation is awarding the Diploma ?
