Compute Student Progress (Settings)
Important
Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.
Use these settings to control how requirements are processed in the Compute Student Progress (Advising Recalc) procedure.
Show only courses that match the student's current division
This is an On/Off switch.
On: Only courses in the student's current division are applied to the student's aims. Courses the student takes in other divisions, even if they meet requirements for the student's program, aren't applied.
Off: All courses the student takes in all divisions are applied to the student's aims.
Place forgiven course work in the Admin bucket
On: Forgiven courses are applied to the #ADMN aim. Their hours are not counted toward graduation.
Off: Forgiven courses are ignored and aren't placed in the #ADMN aim.
Place forgiven course work in the Free Elective bucket
On: Forgiven courses are applied to the *FREE aim, and they count as elective hours earned.
Off: Forgiven courses are ignored and don't appear in advising trees or reports.
Tip
If your school doesn't track free electives, select Off.
Exclude these credit types from free electives: Courses with the selected credit types won't be applied to the *FREE aim. You can select more than one from the drop-down.
Exclude these transcript divisions from free electives: Courses in the selected divisions won't be applied to the *FREE aim. You can select more than one from the drop-down.
Exclude these advising requirement types from free electives: Courses with the selected advising requirement types won't be applied to the *FREE aim. You can select more than one from the drop-down.
Apply unsatisfactory course to requirement until forgiven:
On: Courses that received unsatisfactory grades appear in the requirements tree. If the student repeats the course and earns a satisfactory grade, the forgiven course can go to the *FREE or #ADMN bucket, depending on other settings.
Off: Courses that received unsatisfactory grades fall to the *FREE bucket if it's set up.
Close requirements when met
On: The Compute Student Progress process automatically closes fulfilled requirements, marking them as met. This feature is also called "When MET then MET", especially in Desktop.
Tip
This setting is very important. It affects the Reuse and Priority features that control double-counting when a course satisfies multiple requirements. For example, when this setting is On, and a student completes a course that satisfies a requirement that's already met, the system skips that requirement and moves to the next priority. See the Reuse and Priority in Advising Trees topic.
Off: Requirements are not closed automatically.
