High School Subject section

Use this section to record high school subjects and minimum requirements for the automated admissions decisions.

Subjects entered for the applicant in the High School Subjects section on the High School (SOAHSCH) page are compared to entries in this section to determine if the student qualifies for the decision.

Fields	Descriptions
Decision Sequence	Sequence number associated with the term code. This value comes from the Key block. It cannot be changed.
Term	Term for the decision sequence. This value comes from the Key block. It cannot be changed.
Subject	Code to identify the high school subject required to admit an applicant under the decision sequence. Choices come from the High School Subject Validation (STVSBJC) list.
Grade	Minimum grade required for the high school subject. Use an alphabetic grade. The grade entered is compared to the grade entered for the same subject on the applicant’s High School (SOAHSCH) page in the High School Subjects section. The high school grade must be less than or equal to the grade entered on the Decision section to qualify. The letter representation entered on SOAHSCH must be less than the grade entered in the Decision section. However, the lower the letter representation, the higher the grade. For example, alphabetically, A is less than C but the opposite is true for grade value. A grade of A is greater than a C. If a C is entered on the decision page, a grade of A, B or C entered in the High School Subject section would qualify.
Years	Minimum number of years a high school subject is required for admission under the decision sequence. The format is 99.99.
GPA	Minimum earned grade point average in the high school subject area required for admission under the decision sequence.
