The Student Term Course Maintenance (SHAINST) page is used to capture and maintain the student’s institutional course work on a term-by-term basis.
The term header record is created or updated and pertinent information from the course is moved and stored on the history portion of the database. The process also associates the course with student’s current level (undergraduate, graduate, and so on). The grades rolled on SFASLST cannot be changed, and any modification to a student’s grade must be performed through SHAINST on SHATCKN.
When the information is captured and validated, the page ensures that the GPA information for the term being processed is accurate and complete. Each time you enter or update student’s record on SHATCKN, there is an effect on the GPA and it is automatically recalculated, which is reflected automatically on SHAINST.
A general student record must be present to store information on SHAINST. Ensure that individual section records are not deleted after the courses have been moved to academic history. It is permissible to delete all sections for a term.
You cannot push data into academic history for a term unless a term header record already exists on SHAINST. Each time an entry is made on SHATCKN which has an effect on the GPA, the GPA will be recalculated automatically when you save your changes on SHATCKN, which will be reflected automatically on SHAINST.
