The page is entered in query mode. You may search on term, program, level, campus, college, or degree to display base rule information. This data is sorted in alpha order if a program exists. If not, base rules are sorted in numeric order by rule number.

Note: It is important to understand what is meant by “base curriculum information” when you are building curriculum rules. Base curriculum information consists of program, campus, level, college, and degree. These items work on the same concept as catalog base information.

The Curriculum Rules (SOACURR) page checks with the Program Definition Rules (SMAPRLE) page when you try to attach a program to a rule. The program is not required unless the Require Program Code on Curriculum Rules radio group on the Curriculum Rules Control (SOACTRL) page is set to Yes. When program is used on a rule, the level, campus, college, and degree have to match what has been defined on SMAPRLE. If the campus on SMAPRLE is blank, all campuses are valid for the rule. The information defaults back into SOACURR from the Lookup button window for SMAPRLE.

You are permitted to attach majors to base rules or majors/departments when the radio group for Attach Concentrations to Majors on SOACTRL on has been set to Yes. To attach majors to base rules, select the base rule and then select the Rule-Based Concentrations section to access the Rule-Based Concentrations window.

To attach concentrations to majors/departments, select the rule associated with the major/department in which you are interested. Then select the Majors and Departments section to access the Majors and Departments window. Select the major for which you want to attach a concentration, and then select the Rule-Based Concentrations section to access the Rule-Based Concentrations window.

You may navigate among the secondary windows of SOACURR using the window tabs. Use an Edit function, the Return button, or the Base Curriculum Rules section from the additional windows to return to the main window.

The Study Path check box is displayed when the Enable Study Paths check box on SOACTRL is checked (Y). This check box is used to indicate whether study paths are enabled for the curriculum rule during the admission acceptance process.

Study paths are created when:

The Enable Study Paths indicator on SOACTRL is checked (Y), the curriculum on SOACURR is valid, and the Study Path indicator on SOACURR is checked (Y) for the curriculum.
The Enable Study Paths indicator on SOACTRL is checked (Y), and the curriculum is not valid per SOACURR rules.

Study paths are not created when:

The Enable Study Paths indicator on SOACTRL is unchecked (N).
The Enable Study Paths indicator on SOACTRL is checked (Y), the curriculum on SOACURR is valid, but the Study Path indicator on SOACURR is unchecked (N).
