Rule Detail section

The system determines conditions based on the way in which you define the detail lines. For example, all entries using the same set will have a single condition number, because all are part of one condition.

Review the condition indicators to determine whether you have defined the detail requirements correctly and to understand how compliance interprets the required number of conditions specified in your rule umbrella.

The value can be alphanumeric, but must begin with an alpha character.

See the “Sets and Subsets” section in the “Common Concepts” chapter of the Banner Student CAPP Handbook for more information about sets and subsets.

The value must be a three-digit number. If only one or two digits are entered, the system inserts leading zeroes to cause the subset to sort properly.

The system does not validate codes entered in this field; you must therefore be careful not to use the same code for different rules within the same area.

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

If this check box is cleared, compliance will use any course the student has completed (for example, academic history or transfer) in-progress or planned to attempt to meet the requirement.

You can define a requirement as a single course attribute, so that any course with the attribute satisfies the requirement, or as a combination of values, so that a course must meet all of the specifications to satisfy the requirement.

When compliance is performed, the evaluation term is used to determine the term from which year rule limits are measured.

A year rule can also be defined at the program, area, or group level. If a year rule is already in effect at a higher level, you can be more restrictive in the detail requirement, but you cannot be less restrictive at a lower level.

The restriction applies only to grade codes with levels that match the native course level for the group.

Minimum grades can also be defined at the program, area, or group level. If a minimum grade is already in effect at a higher level, you can be more restrictive for the detail requirement, but you cannot be less restrictive at a lower level.

Course credits are split only when a requirement or restriction has a maximum number of credits. The Maximum Credits field controls whether a course will be split if it has more credits than are required to satisfy a requirement or would cause a restriction to be exceeded.

Example:

A student who is an English major has taken ENGL 1050 (a literature course [attribute = LIT] that can be taken for variable credits based on the amount of outside reading) for 4 credits. The English major requires exactly 3 credits in ENGL 1050 (required minimum credits = 3 and required maximum credits = 3), and also requires at least 6 credits in literature courses (attribute = LIT). If the literature attribute requirement allows split courses to be used, the remaining 1 credit from ENGL 1050 would be applied to the attribute requirement.

You can enter a value in either the Required Credits field or the Required Courses field, or both. Use the Connector option button group to indicate 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.)

A maximum number of credits specified in this field could cause a course to be split and the remaining credits applied to requirements that allow split courses to be used.

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.)

A maximum number of credits specified in this field could cause a course to be split and the remaining credits applied to requirements that allow split courses to be used.

You can enter a value in either the Transfer Credits field or the Transfer 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.)

The value can be higher or lower than the actual number of credits used.

The value can be higher or lower than the actual number of courses used.

When compliance credits/courses are specified, the detail requirements are processed normally, but the compliance credits/courses are used instead of the actual credits/courses. Compliance credits/courses are used only in the calculation of group, area, or program total required credits/courses.

Example:

You require that a student take at least two physical education courses, but the physical education credits do not accumulate toward the requirements for the degree. You define the requirement to include the courses that satisfy the requirement, but set compliance credits and courses to 0.

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.
