Use this section of the Term Information to view and set up Self-Service controls for class lookup, conditional add and drop, drop last class, automatic drop, and administrative drop.

Fields Descriptions
Activate on the Web (Master Web Control) Check box used to indicate whether you can look up classes for the term in Banner Self-Service.
Allow Student to Select Conditional Add Drop Check box used to indicate whether students can use conditional adding and dropping during registration in Self-Service.

This is used when an error occurs after the student submits registration selections. The entire registration process is cancelled, even if other classes submitted for registration do not have any errors. When this indicator is not checked, classes without errors can still be processed for registration.

Values are saved to the database as Y or N.

Allow Student to Drop their last class Check box used to indicate whether students can drop their last class during registration in Self-Service.

Values are saved to the database as Y or N.

Auto Drop Connected Course Drop Errors Radio group used to indicate how automatic drops should be processed during registration in Self-Service.

When the student submits the registration selections and then tries to drop one class from a pair of classes with a link, corequisite, or prerequisite, an error is received, but other registration selections can still be processed.

Choices are:
  • Drop Connected Course - Both classes are automatically dropped. Saved to the database as Y.
  • Do Not Drop, Display Error - The student receives an error, but there is no automatic action taken by the system. Saved to the database as N.
  • Confirm to Drop - The student receives a message asking if the other class in the pair can be automatically dropped. Saved to the database as C.
  • Allow Connected Drops - The student can drop any class, even if it is a linked course, a corequisite, or a prerequisite. No cross checking is performed for the missing connected class. Saved to the database as I.
Administration Drop Connected Course Errors Radio group used to indicate how administrative drops should be processed during registration in Self-Service.

When the student first comes into registration after selecting a term, if the student has registration errors that are from a connected class, the class is automatically dropped. The student has no control over this drop event.

Choices are:
  • Drop - The class is automatically dropped. Errors are reported in the SFTRGAM table. Saved to the database as Y.
  • Do Not Drop, Report in Administrative Error Table - An error is reported, but there is no automatic action taken by the system. Errors are reported in the SFTRGAM table. Saved to the database as N.
