Setting Up Academic Standing:
With academic standing action codes and rules, you can create guidelines for every academic career at your institution. You can then use these codes and rules to assign academic standing to students. This is done by running the Academic Standing/Honors Awards process or entering academic standing codes directly into a student's term history record.

- Clear to have the system call the academic standing process when posting or changing a grade on the Quick Enrollment or Enrollment Request pages. In addition, when posting a grade on the Grade Roster page. The academic standing process inserts an updated row, viewable on the Academic Standing page of the Term History component. This is except when a student's class is graded with a grade that counts towards GPA and later changed to a non-GPA grade. In such a scenario, you must manually update the student's academic standing on the Academic Standing page.
- Associate with Academic Prog: (Associate with Academic Program) To apply academic standing rules to students in a specific academic program, select the option to associate the rule with that program. This is particularly helpful if a student is enrolled in multiple programs and requires different rules. If you don't select this option, the system will, by default, associate the rule with the student's academic career.
- Obey Fully Graded Date: Select to calculate academic standing only when grades are posted on or later than the fully graded date. The system does not calculate academic standing if this check box is selected and grades are posted before the student's fully graded date.

If you do not select this check box, the system associates the honor/award rule with the student's academic career.
- Obey Fully Graded Date: Select to calculate honors and awards only when grades are posted on or later than the fully graded date. The system does not calculate honors and awards if the Obey Fully Graded Date check box is selected and grades are posted before the student's fully grade date.

The Academic Standing/Honors Awards process evaluates active students in the academic institution, academic career, term, and academic program you select. If students meet the parameters of the academic standing rule or honor award rule, the process updates these students' academic standing records or honors and awards records according to the rule. The process does not update students' academic standing for grades that do not count toward GPA, such as pass/no pass grades.
You can use the checkboxes to run Academic Standing and Honors and Awards separately or together. You can run the entire academic career or just a specific program. This page also allows you to assign Academic Standings and Honors and Awards in batch. You can assign Honors and Awards at the same time as Academic Standing or later.
