The academic standing process inserts an updated academic standing row, viewable on the Academic Standing page of the Term History component, except when a student's class is graded with a grade that count towards GPA and then 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.

Assigning Academic Standing, Honors and Awards in Batch

The Academic Standing/Honors Awards process evaluates students who are active in the academic institution, academic career, term, and academic program that 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 towards GPA, such as pass/no pass grades.

Queries

After Running the Post Enrollment Requirement Checking Process, there are queries that will display the enrollment and post requirement status of the students in the class.

  • QCS_CM_PERC_REPORT_DETAIL - PERC Report Student Detail
  • QCS_CM_PERC_REPORT_SUMMARY - PERC Report Class Summary

Step 7 - Degree Posting

Step 8 - Processing Term Withdrawals

Processing Term Withdrawals

Term Withdrawal functionality simplifies completely withdrawing students after the 10th day of a term.

  1. The term withdraw function updates FA Term to indicate when a student is no longer attending.
  2. The function is also integrated into NSC reporting--reducing NSC reporting errors.

Step 9 - Identify Term Activated Students to a Completed or Discontinued Student Program/Plan Stack

Queries to Identify Term Activated Students

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

  • ZD_DS_QUERY_VIEWER

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

Navigation:  NavBar > Navigator > Reporting Tools > Query > Query Viewer

  1. QCS_SR_COMPLETED _ST_STILL_ENRL - Comp Stdnt Enrolled in >Term
  2. QCS_SR_TERM_ACT_INACTIVESTACK  - Term Activated Inactive Progs

The queries can be used as a proactive measure based on local business processes. For example,  if a student decided to enroll into classes after they completed a program, a student's tuition will not calculate if they are term activated to that completed stack. The student would need to be term activated to an new active program/plan stack--not the completed stack--in order for tuition to calculate.

Step 10 - Student Program Plan Discontinuation

Student Program Plan Discontinuation
  1. To keep Program/Plan stack lists accurate, discontinue the Program/Plan Stacks for students no longer in them.  
  2. The following process allows students to be discontinued in batch.  We recommend doing this every term.  

A batch process is appropriate when the list includes 25 or more records; State Board will schedule batch processes as needed. The maximum number of records that can be discontinued per run is 10,000.  If your list is long, your request may take several days to be completed and you will receive updates with each run. To request a batch discontinuation, create a ticket.
