The intent of the Qualifying Papers (SHAQPNO) page is to capture information pertinent to requirements other than normal course requirements such as competency exams, projects, and so on.
The only requirement is that a person record exists to enter the paper title and comments. If the paper is to be associated with a degree, the degree record must also exist. Qualifying papers only print on the transcript if the Degree Status is awarded.
This page allows papers to be associated with a non-course and allows papers to be applied to a degree. This association may be a one to one-to-one or a one-to-many relationship. For example, a one-to-one relationship would be a thesis paper which may be associated with the non-course of a master thesis paper. A one-to-many relationship would be a paper to a review committee and a master thesis paper which is a non-course requirement for the degree being awarded. This allows the paper information on SHAQPNO such as title and type to be associated with the degree requirement of the Master Thesis being completed.
