Assigning Attributes to Courses Specific to a Group
You can apply attributes to courses that are specific to a particular
group. For example, the minimum passing grade point for Music Appreciation
taken by General Studies majors is 1. However, when Music Appreciation
is taken as part of a Music major, then the minimum passing grade point
is 3. You can change the minimum grade point value for the Music
major group without affecting the General Studies group or the Course
Master.
To define course attributes within a group:
- From the Registration
>Degree Audit >Degree Audit Setup >Groups tab, double-click
the appropriate group. A Groups Detail form appears.
- In the Groups Detail form, double-click the course
for which you are defining attributes.
- The Properties of Course As Member of Group display.
Enter the Minimum Grade Point required.
- Select any/all of the following attributes:
- Course Required
- If a course is marked "Required" then it must be completed
for the group to get marked completed. Even if either the
credits required or the minimum GPA is satisfied, the group will
still get marked "Remaining" if a required course is
not complete. Therefore it is possible to get a Group Status
of "Remaining 0.00 Credits". This status means
the credits are satisfied but the student is missing at least
one required course. The Required flag is ignored on Groups
with a group formula because it conflicts with the evaluation
of the formula. To include a required course in the Group
formula, use the "AND" condition in the formula.
- Credits Apply
To Group - If selected, the course credits and GPA points
will apply to group totals. If not selected, the course
credits and GPA points will NOT apply to group totals.
- Transfer Apply
To Group - If selected, the student may take a transfer
course to satisfy the course in the audit. If not selected,
transfer courses will NOT be applied to the course in the audit.
- Equivalents Apply
To Group - If selected, the student may take an equivalent
course to satisfy the course in the audit. If not selected,
equivalent courses will NOT be applied to the course in the audit.
- Require Prerequisites
- As long as the student has taken the prerequisites at some time
in their transcript history, the course will match up and will
be applied to the audit course. If not selected, then prerequisites
will NOT be required.
- Summarize
- If selected, certain courses that are taken more than once,
like Band or Choir, will have their credits summarized as a total.
So if a student is required to have 6 credits of Choir the
student will have to take Choir twice if it is a 3 credit course
and summarize will show Choir with 6 credits completed.
Note: All
attributes except Summarize default to "Yes" for each course.
