The Third Party Registration Time Controls (SFARGTC) page enables you to define time periods in which students can access registration add/drop activities based upon their personal and student characteristics. Third party registration controls can determine access to registration add/drop activity using Voice Response telephone and Banner Student Self-Service registration features.
When a student attempts to perform add/drop activities, the student’s permission to access these functions is calculated based upon the time control rules and student or personal characteristics in effect at that time. Therefore, time controls are a dynamic function, and changes in either the rules, the student, or personal characteristics take effect immediately.
Define appropriate time controls for each term for which add/drop activity is to be controlled. If there are no time control records for a term for which time controls are in effect, access to add/drop activities will be denied to all users. You can restrict access by date range or time (hour/minute) range within specified date ranges.
Multiple time controls can be defined for a term with different criteria and date ranges. When a student attempts to perform add/drop activities, the system checks the restriction criteria of the lowest sequence record for the term which is valid for the current time and date against the student’s student or personal characteristics. If the student’s characteristics do not match the access criteria specified, access to add/drop activity is denied.
Some values, such as student level, allow multiple entries. The AND operator is applied when multiple different types of characteristics, such as level and major, are specified. The OR operator is applied when multiple values are specified for one type of characteristic, such as freshman and sophomore student classifications.
The user ID and date information for the person who last updated the time control record is displayed in a message at the bottom of the page. The message contains Last Updated By: User ID on DD-MON-YYYY.
