| Course Registration Drop Status Rules (SFADROP) | |
The selection of a Status for Course Registration Drop Status for Drop Calculation validates against STVRSTS and must be defined as a Dropped or Withdrawn Status Type.
The Status code selected in this position must NOT be defined in the SFADROP key block term or any part of term on SFARSTS. The Status code in the Course Registration Drop Status for Drop Calculation is the Status code that triggers the calculation of a drop code by the administrator on SFAREGS. If this Status Code is defined as a status for the Term/Part of Term on SFARSTS, the Status will function as defined on SFARSTS and not function as a trigger to calculate the drop.
Ellucian suggests that an STVRSTS Dropped or Withdrawn code be designated for the Status * defined in the Course Registration Status for Drop Calculation section on SFADROP for use in any/all terms set up for Calculated Drop. This way, the same Dropped or Withdrawn code would be available for use by administrators on SFAREGS in any Calculated Drop term set up on SFADROP. Accordingly, this Dropped or Withdrawn status used for the Course Registration Status for Drop Calculation on SFADROP should never be defined for any term or part of term on SFARSTS.
Should an institution decide that an SFADROP Status* be designated only for use by the Registrar to trigger Calculated Drop on SFAREGS, a suggestion might be to update the STVRSTS Dropped or Withdrawn Status code Description to identify the function such as Calculated Drop Trigger Status. Accordingly, the STVRSTS Action Description that will display to the Registrar in Self-Service would be updated with an appropriate description such as Drop Code Calculated.
The administrator responsible for the setup of Calculated Drop processing and assigning this code on SFADROP would typically be responsible with communicating this Status for Course Registration Drop Status for Drop Calculation to any administrators who would use this Status* to trigger the calculated drop on SFAREGS.
