Prerequisite, Corequisite, and Prohibited Course Settings
Use these settings to control various aspects of prerequisites, corequisites, and prohibited courses.
Include in-progress courses in prerequisite / corequisite / prohibited checking: When this checkbox is selected, the registration process checks not only completed courses but in-progress courses on the Student Course History table to determine if a prerequisite/corequisite/prohibited requirement is met.
Tip
Many schools select this checkbox. They figure most in-progress students will successfully complete the course, and they can use Registration Audit to find the exceptions. Other schools would rather leave it unselected. Student's with in-progress prereqs can ask for overrides, and the registrar can monitor completion of the in-progress requirements.
Include previous terms in corequisite checking: When this checkbox is selected, the registration process checks not only the current term but previous terms to see if the corequisite is met.
Use the Add Corequisites prompt: When this checkbox is selected, the Add Corequisites pop-up appears when a student selects a course that has corequisites, allowing the student to select the corequisites at the same time. (This happens for students registering on the Campus Portal or for staff registering students in J1 Web.)
Basis for [Prerequisites, Corequisites, and Prohibited Courses]: For each—prerequisites, corequisites, and prohibited courses—you select a basis: Course Code, Advising Requirement (ARC), or Both.
Tip
Jenzabar promotes the use of ARCs because they set up advising, academic planning, and registration to work together smoothly. So we recommend selecting Advising Requirement in most circumstances, but work with your campus support team to make that decision.
Tip
If "Both" is selected, then the you can't edit the corresponding tab (Prerequisites, Corequisites, or Prohibited Courses) in Desktop.
Course code components to compare: Available only if Course Code or Both is the selection above it. Course code components refer to the components set in the Course Component Definition Settings.
Warning
Select contiguous checkboxes. If you have an unselected checkbox between selected checkboxes, the results will be confusing.
The information is stored on the Registration Configuration table.
