Curriculum Rules (Processing Controls)

Use this section of the page to define the overall curriculum processing rules.

Fields	Descriptions
Require Program Code on Curriculum Rules	Radio group that indicates whether programs are used in conjunction with curriculum rules. If so, every new and existing curriculum rule must contain a program code. The option cannot be set to Yes unless every curriculum rule contains a program code. Every new curriculum rule must contain a program code. Choices are: Yes - Programs are used in conjunction with curriculum rules. You have assigned a program to every curriculum rule. You will not be able to build new curriculum rules unless you assign a program to the base rule. No - Programs are not necessarily used in conjunction with curriculum rules. Consequently, program code is an optional field for new and existing curriculum rules.
Perform Curriculum Checking	Radio group that indicates whether curriculum rules are enforced. This feature is also referred to as curriculum checking. When you add or update a curriculum record in Recruiting, Admissions, General Student, Academic History, or CAPP, the system validates that the curriculum is in effect on the Curriculum Rules (SOACURR) page. Choices are: Yes - Curriculum rules are applied based upon the Error Severity flags for each module set on SOACTRL and the module controls set for each base curriculum rule on Curriculum Rules (SOACURR) page. No - Curriculum checking is not performed. If you are using CAPP features (Require Program Code on Curriculum Rules is set to Yes), you must also have curriculum rule checking in effect. When Require Program Code on Curriculum Rules is set to No, Perform Curriculum Checking may be either Yes or No.
Attach Concentrations to Majors	Radio group that indicates how concentrations can be attached to curriculum rules. Choices are: Yes - Concentrations can be attached to major/department rules and to base curriculum rules. When attached to a major/department rule, a concentration is valid only within the specified major/department rule. No - Concentrations cannot be attached directly to major/department rules, although they can be attached to base curriculum rules. Concentrations attached directly to base curriculum rules are valid for any majors within the base curriculum rule.
