Defining Enrollment Requirement Conditions Using a Group or Plan Within a List of Possible Groups or Plans (Requisite Entity Groups)

Purpose: Use this document to reference entity groups as enrollment requirements in ctcLink.

Audience: Student Records and Class Scheduling staff.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZC CM Enrollment
  • ZD CM Enrollment
  • ZZ CM Local Configuration

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

Entity Groups are used as a condition on an Enrollment Requirement Group when selecting a Student Group or Plan Code within a list of possible groups or plans. This is recommended rather than an "OR" statement on the Enrollment Requirement Group.

Student Groups must be set up for use in Requirements before being used in an entity group. Visit the QRG Defining Student Groups for Requisite for detailed instructions. Verifying that you are always working with your institution's data is essential.
