Example:

Let’s say that you want to define a program for honors students and want to allow no more than five courses where the student receive a D to be counted towards the program. For this, you would take the following steps.

Enter the code associated with the D grade in the Grade field.
Select the None Connector option button.
Enter 5 in the Maximum Courses field.
When you restrict a grade, CAPP looks only at that value (in this example, the D) and not the numeric value. You can always exclude grades with numeric values less than a minimum when you create a compliance request. Use restricted grades only when you need to control the use of grades above the allowable minimum grade code for the program.

Grade restrictions defined in this window apply only to those grade codes that have the same course level defined the Grade Code Maintenance (SHAGRDE) page as the native course level for the program. Also, restrictions defined in this window apply only to the specific grade codes being restricted. The restrictions are not applied to grade codes that have a lower numeric value.

Connector	Option group to indicate which value(s) the system should use. You can enter a value in either the Maximum Credits field or the Maximum Courses field, or both. Use the Connector option button group to indicate whether the system should use only one value (None) or either value (Or). (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.
Maximum Courses	Maximum number of courses with the restricted grade that can be used to satisfy program requirements.
Text	Check box used to indicate whether text has been associated with the selected grade restriction. Display only. Edit Program Restricted Grade Text window
