Level Level code and description of the level for the rule.
The following fields are in the Repeat Limit information.
Selection Rule Rule used when the number of times a student may take a course is limited. Repetition of the course will enable the repeat rules specified here, which is specified by the value in the (Repeat) Limit field on the Basic Course Information (SCACRSE) page.

Each rule has an associated evaluation grade that determines the minimum grade a course must have to be considered for repeat processing evaluation. Registration repeat checking uses the evaluation grade to determine if a course should be considered in repeat checking, based upon whether repeat hours or repeat limit rules are to be used.

Evaluation Grade Minimum grade that will be used for repeat checking when the selection rule that applies to the repeat condition (repeat limits) is used. Establish an evaluation grade to use as the minimum grade a course must have (in rolled or unrolled history) to be considered in repeat checking for each selection rule at the institution, by level and effective term.

The list of grades is defined in the Grade Code Maintenance (SHAGRDE) page.
