Priority Area's priority within the program.

The system considers lower number priorities before higher number priorities when running compliance. If two areas are assigned the same priority, the system considers them in alphabetical order.

If a priority has been assigned to an area on the Area Definition (SMAAREA) page, that value defaults into this field when the area’s code is entered in the Area field, although it can be changed.

Course Re-Use None Option to indicate that courses applied to the area cannot have been applied to preceding areas and cannot be reused by later areas.

When an area is attached to a program, the system automatically defaults the course reuse indicator from the area, but the value can be changed. (Course reuse is specified in the Default Course Reuse field of the General Requirements section of SMAAREA

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

Course Re-Use In Option to indicate courses that have been applied to requirements in preceding areas can also be considered for use in the current area, but if used in the current area, cannot be used again in later areas.
Course Re-Use Out Option to indicate that courses cannot have been applied to any requirements in preceding areas, but if used in the current area, can be considered for use in later areas.
Course Re-Use Both Option to indicate that courses that have been applied to requirements in preceding areas can also be considered for use in the current area and can be considered for use in later areas.
Attribute Re-Use None Option to indicate that attributes cannot have been used in preceding areas and cannot be reused in later areas.

If this check box is cleared, either a course or its attributes can be used within the same area.

Year Rule Number of years within which a course must be taken for it to be used by an area in the program.

If a default year limit has been defined on SMAAREA, that value defaults into this field when the area’s code is entered in the Area field, although you can change it.
