This window is accessed going to the next section or the Progress Evaluation Rules choice in the Options Menu.
The Progress Evaluation Rules section is used to create rules that will determine which progress evaluation code to assign to the students being processed. Fields within the rules allow for defining the population to which they apply. These fields include program, campus, degree, major, and student type.
The following fields are in the Progress Evaluation Rules section:
| Fields | Descriptions |
|---|---|
| Program | The Program field is used to enter the code of the program on which this selection rule may be based. It is optional. If the field is null, then that rule will apply to all programs. Values are validated against programs defined on SMAPRLE and must be consistent with the level and college codes entered in the Key block.

| Campus | The Campus field is used to enter the code of the campus on which this selection rule may be based. It is optional. If the field is null, then that rule will apply to all campuses. Values are validated against campus codes defined on STVCAMP. List Campus Validation (STVCAMP) |
| Degree | The Degree field is used to enter the code of the degree on which this selection rule may be based. It is optional. If the field is null, then that rule will apply to all degrees. Values are validated against degree codes defined on STVDEGC. List Degree Code Validation (STVDEGC) |
| Major | The Major field is used to enter the code of the major on which this selection rule may be based. It is optional. If the field is null, then that rule will apply to all majors. Values are validated against major codes defined on STVMAJR. List All Major Codes |
| Student Type | The Student Type field is used to enter the code of the student type on which this selection rule may be based. It is optional. If the field is null, then that rule will apply to all student types. Values are validated against student type codes defined on STVSTYP. List Student Type Code Validation (STVSTYP) |
| Effective Term | The Effective Term field is used to specify the term for which the progress evaluation rule becomes effective. It is a required field, and entries are validated against STVTERM. List Term Code Validation (STVERM) |
| If the rules by which progress evaluation is calculated for a level, college, program, degree, campus, major, and student type combination change, or if additional rules must be added for a new effective term, all rules must be updated for the new effective term. All rules that are in effect at one time must have the same effective term. In selecting the rules to apply by the Progress Evaluation Process (SHRPREV), the greatest effective term which is less than or equal to the processing term found in any rule is selected, and then all rules with the same effective term are applied. | |
| User ID | The User ID field displays the ID of the user creating or modifying the rule. |
| Activity Date | The Activity Date field displays the date the rule was created or modified. |
| Sequence Number | The Sequence Number field is used to define the priority order in which rules with the same criteria (same current progress evaluation code and hours ranges) will be applied. It is required. It is used when there are “or” conditions among progress evaluation criteria. When applying progress evaluation rules, the first rule (lowest priority number) that applies to a student will determine the student’s new progress evaluation code. |
| Current Progress Evaluation | The Current Progress Evaluation field is used to specify the current status for which the line of rules is defined. It is required. The field is used by the Progress Evaluation Process (SHRPREV) along with attempted hours to select students to whom the rule should be applied. The current status is derived from one of three possible values, in the following priority order:

| Term Low Hours | The Term Low Hours field is used to specify the minimum number of hours in the term a student can have attempted to qualify for selection under the rule. It can be used, for example, to define different rules to apply to full or part time students. It is a required field to add a line of rules, and any numeric value between 0.00 and 999.99 is allowed, as long as it is equal to or less than the value in the Term High Hours field. |
| Term High Hours | The Term High Hours field is used to specify the maximum number of hours in the term a student can have attempted to qualify for selection under the rule. It can be used, for example, to define different rules to apply to full or part time students. It is a required field to add a line of rules, and any numeric value between 0.00 and 999.99 is allowed, as long as it is equal to or greater than the value in the Term Low Hours field. |
| Cumulative Low Hours | The Cumulative Low Hours field is used to specify the minimum number of cumulative hours a student can have accumulated, based upon the Type Hours (Indicator), to qualify for selection by the rule. The Cumulative Low Hours field will be compared with accumulated institutional plus transfer work for the type indicated in the rule. It is a required field to add a line of rules, and any numeric value between 0.00 and 999.99 is allowed, as long as it is equal to or less than the value in the Cumulative High Hours field. |
| Cumulative High Hours | The Cumulative High Hours field is used to specify the maximum number of cumulative hours a student can have accumulated, based upon the Type Hours (Indicator) to qualify for selection by the rule. The Cumulative High Hours field will be compared with accumulated institutional plus transfer work for the type indicated in the rule. It is a required field to add a line of rules, and any numeric value between 0.00 and 999.99 is allowed, as long as it is equal to or greater than the value in the Cumulative Low Hours field. |
| Type Hours | The Type Hours (Indicator) is used to specify the type of cumulative hours to be used in progress evaluation code determination. It is a required field. Valid values are: A Attempted E Earned P Passed G GPA |
| Minimum Percentage | The Minimum Percentage field is used to specify the minimum percentage of courses taken in the term being processed for which the student(s) must have received a grade that counts toward positive progress. It is a required field to add a line of rules, and any numeric value between 0.00 and 100.00 is allowed. |
| Next Progress Evaluation | The Next Progress Evaluation field is used to specify the progress evaluation code to be assigned to the student(s) for the processing term if the student(s) meets the criteria specified in the rule. It is a required field, and entries are validated against STVPREV. List Progress Evaluation Code Validation (STVPREV) |
