Registration

Use this section of the Term Information to view and set up overall registration controls.

Fields Descriptions
In Progress Check box used to indicate whether courses that are being taken during the current term can be used to fulfill prerequisite requirements. If you check the box, then an in progress course is treated as if the course is completed. After a course is graded, it is no longer considered an in-progress course, and it is then checked against the rules in SSAPREQ.
Permit Check box used to indicate whether registration is permitted for the term in the Key block.
Calculate Time Status Check box used to indicate whether the system performs time status calculations online and inserts or updates time status records when an update occurs on the Student Course Registration (SFAREGS) page, the Registration Mass Entry (SFAMREG) page, and in telephone registration processing, if it is in use.
Include Attempted Hours Check box used to indicate whether to include the attempted hours (which were registered in a prior term) toward the class calculation displayed in the Student window of SFAREGS.

Course sections with class restrictions use the class calculation value on SFAREGS to determine registration eligibility. You can select the Update Student’s Term Information item in the Options Menu from the Status or Registration blocks on SFAREGS to access the Student window. Attempted hours are also used in conjunction with class requirements placed on reserve seats on SSASECT.

Attempted hours are never included in the class calculation displayed on the General Student (SGASTDN) page.

The hours considered as attempted hours in the class calculation for registration include the following:
  • courses registered in a prior term
  • graded or ungraded courses
  • graded courses not yet rolled to history

After a course in a prior term has been graded and rolled to history, it will not be considered in attempted hours.

Future Terms for Repeats Check box used to indicate whether registration records from future terms (SFRSTCR) should be included in repeat checking. Check (set to Y) to include records from both past and future terms. Clear (set to N) to only use records from past terms.
Study Path Required Check box used to indicate whether the study path is required for registration.
Calculated Drop The option to control Calculated Drop. If the Calculated Drop indicator is turned ON, then all traditional sections in that term will be evaluated against the Calculated Drop rules. When Calculated Drop is OFF, Calculated Drop rules are ignored. Calculated Drop may be OFF while setting up rules for the process.

OLR Sections are excluded from Calculated Drop functionality.

The Registration Mass Entry page (SFAMREG) is also excluded from Calculated Drop functionality.

Hold Password Registration password used to override holds.
Re-Admit Registration re-admit term. Enter the term the student must have attended to register for classes in this term.

The system verifies that the student has a SFBETRM record with an enrollment status code where the Affect Headcount (Indicator) is checked (STVESTS) for the term code entered as the re-admit term or for a term code that is later than the term that was entered.
