  2. If the course is variable units, it is not possible to zero out the Financial Aid Progress Units.  Notice the Financial Aid Progress Units is grayed out.
  3. In this case, run process Updating FA Progress Units on Desired Classes by Students to zero out the Financial Aid Progress Units at the student enrollment for academic classes that have CIP code in the 32.000-32.999 range. This ensures the units will not be included in Financial Aid awarding and calculations.
