Learner Outcome Information section

The following rules apply:

• When the Outcome Status is SO (sought), any data elements in the degree record (degree information, graduation information, primary curriculum, or secondary curriculum) can be updated, but institutional or departmental honors cannot be entered.
• When the Outcome Status is PN (pending), any data elements in the degree record (degree information, graduation information, primary curriculum, or secondary curriculum) can be updated, and institutional or departmental honors can be maintained. Changes to graduation information (graduation term or date) will be allowed even if honors exist.
• When the Outcome Status is AW (awarded), no data element, except Outcome Status, in the degree record (degree information, graduation information, primary curriculum, or secondary curriculum) can be updated. Institutional or departmental honors can be maintained.
• Changes in Outcome Status from AW to PN will be allowed, but no other changes to degree record data will be allowed until the change is saved.
• Changes in Outcome Status from PN to SO will not be allowed if honors exist. To change the status from pending to sought, honors must first be deleted and the changes saved.

You can have a NULL value in the Bulletin Academic Year field. A value is not required for the bulletin year in the SHADEGR record when the Outcome Status is AW, PN, or SO. The page displays the bulletin year that is populated from the conversion of data from pre-existing records, that is, records that existed before the 7.0 release of concurrent curriculum processing. If no bulletin year is present after the conversion, users will not receive an error when the Bulletin Academic Year field is NULL, and the record is saved.

The Graduation Information section is used to maintain graduation status, dates, and fee information. When a Duplicate Item function is performed from the Outcome Status, Student Record (Effective) Term, and Bulletin Academic Year fields of the Learner Outcome Information, the user is moved to the Graduation Information, where degree graduation information is updated.

The Study Path field allows you to view the study path for the degree record. This field is only displayed when the Enable Study Paths indicator is checked on SOACTRL. It is only populated when the learner curriculum record used to create the outcome record has an active study path. When the degree record on SHADEGR has the study path associated with it, it will always have the study path, even when the learner curriculum record that originated from the study path is deleted, or when more learner curriculum records are manually added to the outcome that are not related to the study path.
