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.

When an area is attached to a program, the system automatically defaults the attribute reuse indicator from the area, but the value can be changed. (Attribute reuse is specified in the Default Attribute 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.

Attribute Re-Use In Option to indicate that attributes 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.
Attribute Re-Use Out Option to indicate that attributes 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.
Attribute Re-Use Both Option to indicate that attributes 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.
Within Indicator Check box used to indicate whether both a course and its attributes can be used within the same area. In this case, the course’s credits are used only one time toward the minimum credits required by the area or program.

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.

Student Level Student level associated with the area. Display only.
Course Level Course level associated with the area. Display only.
Action Code of the action (for example, waive, substitute, eliminate) associated with this adjustment.

Select the Search button for this field to display the Action Code Validation (STVACTN) list.

List Action Code Validation (STVACTN)

Adjusted Credits Number of credits that can accumulate toward area and program minimum credit requirements, even though the area has been waived. Credits can be entered only when a waiver action code that counts is entered.

A waiver action code that counts is one in which the requirement is waived and the credits that were associated with the original requirement are “counted” as waived. Waiver action codes that do not count waive the original requirement, but the credits associated with the original requirement need to be made up from elsewhere.

Adjusted Courses Number of courses that can accumulate toward area and program minimum courses requirements, even though the area has been waived. Courses can be entered only when a waiver action code that counts is entered.
