Material (SOAMATL) page

Use this page to choose materials to be sent to a person and to determine who will receive these materials.

Materials include such diverse items as admission packets, housing information, scholarship information, and brochures about extracurricular activities. The recipient of these materials must meet all required criteria defined on this page.

For example, suppose you want to send scholarship information pamphlets to students who received a score of 700 or better on the Math SAT and who are new freshmen at your institution. You can use this page to indicate these specific requirements.

If a rule or condition applies to a person, they will be sent the corresponding material. Automatic mailing of materials is based on a person's attributes and the status of their recruiting record, admissions application, or general student record. When rules are created for any of the elements, that check box will be checked by the system.

Rules have an OR condition within a rule type, and rules have an AND condition among rule types. For example, in the Material Rules information, the codes which determine the rules for each field, such as the Department field, follow the OR condition. The codes which determine the rules for all the fields in the Material Rules section, from department through student type, follow the AND condition in relation to each other.
