Course Exceptions form (green sheet) then disregard this email.

Subject: Student Exceptions Update

 

Dear Advisors,

 

You will see an update to Student Exceptions in UAccess Student.  This
update creates a relationship between courses that are 'Substituted' and
'Excluded' in a Course Directive exception.  It is necessary for Degree
Tracker to be able to accurately determine which courses students need to
take and, in order to do so, substituted and excluded courses must be
'paired' to each other.

 

The update to student exceptions is a new page advisors will see when
creating a Course Directive exception.  Once courses have been entered into
the exception and the advisor clicks 'OK', the advisor is then routed to a
page that looks like this:

Description: Description:
C:\Users\RAB2003\AppData\Local\Temp\VMwareDnD\c8f324b7\screen-capture.png

On this page, advisors click the check box next to the appropriate courses
which go together and then click 'Pair.'  This will create a unique Course
Replacement Sequence number that identifies these two courses as being
substituted and excluded for each other.  This is the relationship Degree
Tracker needs to accurately predict course sequences for students.

 

Additional information and training regarding course pairing will come when
Degree Tracker goes live, but for now an updated version of the Academic
Advising Advanced training manual has been attached to this email for your
reference.

 

Additional updates to transfer articulation will be coming in the near
future to reduce the need for student exceptions.  There is a demo of these
transfer articulation updates at the ARC seminar today at  9:00am in SUMC
411.
