| Area Requirements (SMAAREA) page / Main window | |
Use this section to enter or display general requirements for the area and term specified in the key block.
| Fields | Descriptions |
|---|---|
| From Term | First term in which this set of area general requirements is in effect. Display only.
If you are defining area general requirements for the first time, the value defaults to the term entered in the key block. |
| To Term | Last term in which this set of area general requirements is in effect. Display only.
If you are defining area general requirements for the first time, the value defaults to term code 999999 (the end of time). |
| Active/Inactive | Option group to indicate whether the area is active or inactive for the term range. The default is Inactive.
When an area is inactive, it cannot be used for compliance. If a user attempts to perform compliance for an inactive area, an error message is displayed. |
| Attached | Indicates whether groups or courses have been attached to the area. Display only. |
| Total Required
Credits |
Minimum total number of credits needed to satisfy the area’s requirements. This number includes all institutional (both traditional and non-traditional) and transfer credits. |
| Connector None/And/Or | Option group to indicate which value(s) the system should use.
The Connector option button group indicates whether the system should use both values (And), either value (Or), or only one value (None). (If using the None connector, a value can be entered in only one of the two fields.) See the “Connectors” section in the “Common Concepts” chapter of the Banner Student CAPP Handbook for more information about connectors. |
| Total Required
Courses |
Minimum total number of courses needed to satisfy the area’s requirements. This number includes all institutional (both traditional and non-traditional) and transfer courses. |
| Required Institutional Credits | Minimum number of credits that must be earned at your institution to satisfy the area’s requirements. |
| Connector None/And/Or | Option group to indicate which value(s) the system should use.
The Connector option button group indicates whether the system should use both values (And), either value (Or), or only one value (None). (If using the None connector, a value can be entered in only one of the two fields.) |
| Required Institutional Courses | Minimum number of courses that must be earned at your institution to satisfy the area’s requirements. |
| Required Institutional Traditional
Credits |
Minimum number of credits earned at the institution with a traditional grade (as defined on the Grade Code Maintenance [SHAGRDE] page) needed to satisfy the area’s requirements. |
| Connector None/And/Or | Option group to indicate which value(s) the system should use.
The Connector option button group indicates whether the system should use both values (And), either value (Or), or only one value (None). (If using the None connector, a value can be entered in only one of the two fields.) |
| Required Institutional Traditional
Courses |
Minimum number of credits/courses earned at the institution with a traditional grade (as defined on SHAGRDE) needed to satisfy the area’s requirements. |
| Maximum Institutional Non-Traditional
Credits |
Maximum number of credits earned at the institution with a non-traditional grade (as defined on SHAGRDE) that can be used to satisfy the area’s requirements. |
| Connector None/Or | Option group to indicate which value(s) the system should use.
The Connector option button group indicates whether the system should use only one value (None) or either value (Or). |
| Maximum Institutional Non-Traditional
Courses |
Maximum number of courses earned at the institution with a non-traditional grade (as defined on SHAGRDE) that can be used to satisfy the area’s requirements. |
| Maximum Transfer
Credits |
Maximum number of transfer credits that can be used to satisfy the area’s requirements. |
| Connector None/Or | Option group to indicate which value(s) the system should use.
The Connector option button group indicates whether the system should use only one value (None) or either value (Or). |
| Maximum Transfer
Courses |
Maximum number of transfer courses that can be used to satisfy the area’s requirements. |
| Compliance Credits | Number of credits to be applied towards the program’s minimum credit requirement for the area.
Use this field to override the actual number of credits that would normally be accumulated by the area to the program. For example, you might need to define an area to use within a graduate program to verify that a student has completed specific undergraduate requirements. To satisfy the program, the student must complete the undergraduate work, but the undergraduate credits/courses (which are entered in the Compliance Courses field) do not accumulate toward the graduate program's minimum required credits/courses. To achieve this, you could define the undergraduate requirements as an area with zero compliance credits/courses, and then the work would not accumulate toward the program. |
| Compliance Courses | Number of courses to be applied towards the program’s minimum course requirement for the area.
Use this field to override the actual number of courses that would normally be accumulated by the area to the program. An example is provided in the description of the Compliance Credits field. |
| Minimum Course Grade | Code of the minimum grade that must be earned for the course to satisfy the area’s requirements.

| Minimum Area GPA | Lowest acceptable area GPA a student can have to satisfy the area’s requirements.
This is calculated from the grades received in native-level courses used to satisfy the requirements of the area. |
| Default Within Indicator | Check box used to indicate whether the same course can be used to satisfy more than one detail requirement within the area. |
| Default Course Reuse | Default course reuse rule to be used by compliance.
If a different reuse rule has been designated for a program to which this area is attached, the program-level rule overrides the area-level rule. Values in the pull-down list are None, In, Out, and Both. None is the default. See the “Reuse” section in the “Common Concepts” chapter of the Banner Student CAPP Handbook for more information about reuse in CAPP. |
| Default Attribute Reuse | Default attribute reuse rule to be used by compliance.
If a different reuse rule has been designated for a program to which this area is attached, the program-level rule overrides the area-level rule. Values in the pull-down list are None, In, Out, and Both. None is the default. |
| Default Priority | Default priority for the area when the area is attached to a program.
If the area is dynamic and is not attached to a non-captive program, the default priority specifies the order in which the area is processed by compliance, unless dynamic area overrides are defined for the program. |
| Default Year Limit | Number of years old a course can be to satisfy the area’s requirements.
When a compliance request is processed, the evaluation term entered for the compliance request is used in conjunction with this field to determine how far back to go in a student’s academic history to retrieve valid courses. CAPP checks the earliest term in the furthest year of the course year limit you set. Example: The course year limit is five, and the user enters an evaluation term of 200620. When processing the request, CAPP considers courses back to 200110, which is the first term in the academic year five years back from 2006. |
