Use this window to manually set the repeat flag for the various instances of a student's repeated course and override the automatic repeat logic. For example, your school's repeat logic may set the most recent instance as Repeat and previous instances as forgiven. But you have a student with extenuating circumstances who has taken a course three times. You want to count the middle instance as the repeat, and the other two as forgiven. The Lock Repeat Courses window lets you accomplish this.

To override the repeat logic, you must use the Lock Repeat Courses window. If you manually set repeat flags without locking them, the repeat process will use your school's repeat logic to override your manual selections. |
Repeat logic is the usual way repeated and forgiven courses are handled. Repeat logic starts on the Registration Configuration window, Configuration Table tab. This is where your school decides whether to limit the number of repeats allowed and whether the limit is enforced by stopping a repeat registration or merely giving a warning. Your school can also have the student course record's State Unfunded checkbox automatically selected when the limit is crossed.

Individual catalog courses can have their own limits on repeats, set on the Catalog window. |
The details are set on the Repeat / Transcript / GPA tab. Here your school selects whether the repeat process runs automatically or manually, which instances to forgive, which instance's grade to use (as the Repeat instance), and how repeat and forgiven courses appear on transcripts. This is the logic that you can override using the Lock Repeat Courses window.
