Planned Courses window

Use the Planned Courses window to enter information on courses that the student plans to take and that you want to be considered by the compliance process.

Because planned courses are not yet graded, they do not accumulate toward any general requirements that use grades (for example, minimum institutional traditional), nor are they used to calculate GPA. The system does not check to determine whether a student has already registered or received transfer credit for a planned course.

The term specified for a planned course must be in the future (that is, the beginning date of the term must be greater than the system date on which the planned course is added). When an existing compliance request is copied into a new request, the system does not copy any courses whose start dates are no longer in the future.

If a planned course exists in the catalog, the catalog information is retrieved after the term, subject code, and course number are entered, but the values can be changed.

Note: If a course has a range of credit hours with it, the systems automatically enters the lowest value.

When the system builds the course list to be used by the compliance process, planned courses associated with the compliance request will not be selected if:

The planned course is a planned institutional course and at least one active registration already exists for the term of the planned course
The planned course is a planned transfer course and there is a transfer attendance period that equals the term of the planned course
