Baseline Admissions Curriculum Controls in Banners On Line

applications

This session will review BASELINE methods for curriculum control for Banners On line admissions application. If time remains I will also demo how user defined questions may be used to enhance the baseline application.

We will look at data needed in:

• SMAPRLE - Program Definition Rules Form

• SOACURR - Curriculum Rules

• STVMAJR – Major Code Validation (CIPC Codes)

• SOAXREF – EDI Cross-Reference Rules

• SOAXCUR- EDI Cross-Reference Rules

• SAAWCUR – Web Application Customized Curriculum

SMAPRLE

• Begins the links needed for SOACURR Base Rule number

• Probably not necessary to make any changes

SOACURR

• Verify that all SMAPRLE rules are linked to necessary unique Base Rule codes.

• I like to keep an ad hoc report of all SOBCURR Base Rules and linked majors available with CIPC Codes from STVMAJR.

STVMAJR_CIPC_CODE

• Verify that all majors for which you expect to receive an application have a CIPC code.

• If it is a “made up one” it is OK (until the IPEDS Completions report)

• It is good opportunity to make sure you are using CIPC 2000 and they match the SEVIS code

SOAXREF Set Up

• Input the CIPC codes that relate to the major you wish to display for selection.

• For multi selections in one CIPC code you must add a 7th character to create a unique row.

• The Description field is free text of 60 characters.

SOAXREF – Sample # 1

SOAXREF Sample # 2

SOAXCUR • Key block indicates term code effective• Rule refers to the unique line in SOBCURR• Majors related to that line are listed below.• For each major to be displayed you need to fill in

Degree, QLFR., Identification Code (from SOAXREF), Web Display indicator

• Desc: A free text field to allow you to enhance the major description. Selections will be listed on the App in alpha order of this field ((UNLESS)).

SOAXCUR – Sample

SAAWCUR

• Primary use of this form is to assign a SOACURR major rule to a specific STVWAPP application type(s)

• Web Desc: will default to DESC on SOAXCUR until you change it here. Then the display will alpha by this field.

SAAWCUR Sample

SAAWCUR

SAAWCUR – How to ???• The form will list majors associated with this type of App

if the Key Block (KB) Restricted flag is set to Y.• If the KB Restricted Flag is set to N all majors on

SOAXCUR will be listed.• To select majors for restriction leave the KB Restriction

flag to N and review each major and set the form Restrict to Y.

• Save the changes.• Set the KB restrictions to Y and save again.• With the KB restrict set to Y proofread the list.• Majors may be restricted to as many STVWAPP

application types as you wish.

SAAWUDQ

• The use of this form is to create and edit user defined questions

• It is also to assign them to an app type

• Yes/No questions or free text

• You can use HTML tags for display control

Displaying questions• To display a user defined question it must be added

to the Element Codes on SAAWAPP.• Select the SAAWAPP section of the app where you

want the question to display• Once the section is highlighted select Element Codes

for the options menu.• Insert Order, this is the sequence number for multiple

questions.• Create sequence numbers at least 5 apart, it is easier

to add new ones than to edit old ones.• Required flag indicates an answer is requires and the

Disp indicator will activate the question.
