Program Configuration must be defined and set up before you set up Program Control. Program Configuration cannot distinguish between different candidacy types (freshman, transfer, etc.), so the requirement list should have all requirements for every possible candidacy type. However, customizing a list is possible once it is attached to a candidacy. |
Along with Program Control, Program Configuration allows you to:
· Set a maximum number of places available in particular programs and have the system limit the number of students enrolled accordingly.
· Manage wait lists automatically for programs that are full.
· Set percentages by which you can over-enroll students for up to 18 months prior to the start of a term to allow for attrition.
Program configurations are defined on the Program Configuration window. When you enter values for Program Configuration, the different combinations you define are available for you to select from a drop-down list when you are entering candidacy information.
Program Configuration contains default values that can be applied to every year and term. Year/Term Program Control applies to a particular year and term. Different controls can be set up depending on the program, division, location, candidacy type, load, and department. For a particular term in which you want to use values different from the defaults, you can define customized controls. Different controls can be set up depending on the year, term, program, division, location, candidacy type, and load. Unless there are values that you wish to implement for a specific term and year, you can use the default values in Program Configuration, which eliminates setup time and data entry.
