9.2 Run Repeat Check Process

Purpose: Use this document as a reference for running the repeat checking process in ctcLink.

Audience: Student Records.

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

  • ZD SR End of Term Processing
  • ZZ SR End of Term Processing

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

Repeat checking rules identify possible course repeats with a warning message as the student enrolls in courses. This process is typically run after the term to properly code the student repeats based on the rules configured. It is generally advised to run this process only once per term as the process will override any manual adjustments made to repeat coding on individual students in the same term.
