section Settings

Use this section of the page to associate sections with the rules defined on the section Rules Definition section of the page. You can also view existing section settings. The records displayed are child records of the records in the section Rules Definition section of the page.

section settings are displayed for each rule. The Assign section to Student indicator is used by the SFPSBPA process to assign a student population to sections until the pre-assignment limit is met. The Add and Drop Course radio group determines if changes can be made by the student in Self-Service for none, some, or all courses, whether section or non-section. When the enrollment requirement exists on SFABLCK, no changes can be made.

Fields Descriptions
section section code and description for the rule.

When the rule is applied to the student, the sections associated with the rule are displayed as available sections during registration in Self-Service.

When the section Pre-Assignment Process (SFPSBPA) is used, the rule selected for the student from the section Rules Definition (SFABRDF) page and one of the sections associated with the rule will be pre-assigned to the student.

Assign section to Student Check box used to indicate whether this section is available for assignment to a student when the section Pre-Assignment Process (SFPSBPA) is run.

The section pre-assignment will be successful only when the student qualifies for the rule.

When the SFPSBPA is run and the Assign section to Student check box is checked, the section can be pre-assigned to the student.

When the SFPSBPA process is run and the Assign section to Student check box is not checked, the section will not be pre-assigned to the student.

Add and Drop Courses Radio group used to define add and drop course restrictions for the section.
Choices are:
  • Not Allowed: The student cannot add or drop courses from the section after the registration is complete in Self-Service.
  • Non-section Only: The student can add or drop only those courses which are not part of the section for which registration has occurred.
  • Without Restriction: The student can add or drop courses within the section and add or drop courses that are outside the section.
