Add Quick Lists:
Quick Course Lists are now available for testing in qual and can be accessed by
clicking on course lists under the navigation menu or by clicking on the course
list ID in the requirement.
Course lists that cannot be edited via Quick Lists are those
that reference max hours, flags, grades, or any attribute not seen on Quick Lists.
The following attributes are available on Quick Lists:
- Field of Study and Course number
- Topic Number
- CCYYS/Unique
- Course Type.
When adding new Quick Lists, the transfer work lookup will
not work unless the course list has been identified as an override course list.
An override course list will have to be created from the standard version
first, and then switch back by clicking on edit via Quick Lists.
Action Item: Test
and provide feedback by Thursday, February 14, 2013.
Flags for 12-14 Rules: (See attached hand-out) Debbie
explained how the new 12-14 university-wide flag rules will be written, and
that colleges can do their own or have UGS do it for them. Colleges that don’t
adopt flags can trump the rules with an empty requirement. Some colleges
require three writing flags and will have to trump one with the new empty
requirement.
Flags can be waived by the colleges, but substitutions will
have to be petitioned through UGS. UGS
will also work with colleges on overrides. The Office of the Registrar will
look into getting an override report for all the colleges.
Other Items:
Study Abroad titles will be loaded once a week.
BGS added to BA and should now pick up as a moreable minor.
