General Requirements section

Use this section to enter or display general requirements for the program and term specified in the key block.

Fields Descriptions
From Term First term in which this set of general requirements is in effect. Display only.

If you are defining 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 general requirements is in effect. Display only.

If you are defining 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 program is active or inactive for the term range. The default is Inactive.

When a program is inactive, it cannot be used for compliance.

Captive Check box used to indicate whether the program is captive.
Single Entity Check box used to indicate whether the program should be evaluated for reuse using single-entity processing.
Registration Model Code Radio group used to select the registration model to be used with the program in the key block. The values are Basic, Structured, and Projected. The default is Basic. Only one option can be selected, but you can set up different options by from and to term ranges for the program.
Prerequisite Restriction Level You can select the prerequisite checking level. You can select prerequisite checking either by Catalog, Program or by Program and Course.
Prerequisite by Program Exists A read-only indicator that shows whether Prerequisites by Program has been set on SOACTRL.
Total Required Credits Minimum total number of credits needed to satisfy the program’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 program’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 program’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.)

See the “Connectors” section in the “Common Concepts” chapter of the Banner Student CAPP Handbook for more information about connectors.

Required Institutional Credits Courses Minimum number of courses that must be earned at your institution to satisfy the program’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 program’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 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 program’s requirements.

Number Institutional Required... Credits This field works with the out of Last Number of Earned Credits field to establish a minimum number of credits that must be completed at your institution out of a specified number of the most recent of credits earned.

For example, if you require that students take at least 15 of their last 120 credits at your institution (meaning you allow them to transfer in no more than 15 out of their last 120 credits earned), you would enter 15 in the Number Institutional Required Credits field and 120 in the out of Last Number of Earned Credits field.

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.)

Number of Institutional Required... Courses This field works with the out of Last Number of Earned Courses field to establish a minimum number of courses that must be completed at your institution out of a specified number of the most recent of courses earned.

For example, if you require that students take at least 5 of their last 40 courses at your institution (meaning you allow them to transfer in no more than 5 out of their last 40 courses completed), you would enter 5 in the Number Institutional Required Courses field and 40 in the out of Last Number of Earned Courses field.

...out of Last Number of Earned Credits This field works with the Number Institutional Required Credits field to establish a minimum number of credits that must be completed at your institution out of a specified number of the most recent of credits earned.

For example, if you require that students take at least 15 of their last 120 credits at your institution (meaning you allow them to transfer in no more than 15 out of their last 120 credits earned), you would enter 15 in the Number Institutional Required Credits field and 120 in the out of Last Number of Earned Credits field.

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.)

...out of Last Number of Earned Courses This field works with the Number Institutional Required Courses field to establish a minimum number of courses that must be completed at your institution out of a specified number of the most recent of courses earned.

Course Year Limit Number of years old a course can be to satisfy the program’s requirements.

When a compliance is run, 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.

Minimum Program GPA Lowest acceptable program GPA a student can have to satisfy the program’s requirements.

This is calculated from the grades received in native-level courses used to satisfy the requirements of the program.

Minimum GPA Minimum cumulative level GPA required to satisfy the program’s requirements, for courses whose level matches the native course level of the program.

The GPA is that which is stored in Banner® (not calculated “on the fly”).
